Automatically Purging Completed Tasks
I would like to know if there is a way that a task can be deleted once
completed. I already have a filter that hides completed tasks, but they'll build up over time. Ideally, I would like to click the Complete field to mark it completed, and have the task automatically deleted. If I can get a prompt before deleting, that would be excellent. This is probably more of a VBA question, but I thought I would try here first, as I am only familiar with Excel VBA programming. TIA -- I am running on Office 2003, unless otherwise stated.

Automatically Purging Completed Tasks
That's possible with VBA. You can adapt this example, which assigns a category to a completed task: http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?...item&lang=e n After checking for the Status property, and instead of assigning the category, just call Task.Delete. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?

Automatically Purging Completed Tasks
Is there a way to permanently purge these completed tasks as opposed to
moving them to the Deleted Items folder? Something like a Shift+Delete operation. Thanks. -- I am running on Office 2003, unless otherwise stated.

Automatically Purging Completed Tasks
If you use the Redemption (www.dimastr.com), that's easier. With Outlook you have to monitor the ItemAdd event of the Deleted Items folder, and there delete incoming items once again. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?
