hello

I need to programmatically assign a task.

1.When I assign task & display it,the "To" list appears empty.It is

not refreshed.After send ,When I reopen the same Task for first

time,it still shows empty "To" list but when opened afterwards it

shows "waiting for response from recipient" label.

2.Also when I assign task using "Assign Task" button from ribbon and

add myself to recipient ,it shows message "You can not send the task

to yourself".But when I programmatically assign task using below code

& add myself to recipient list, message is not displayed & task

request is sent.

Is something wrong/missing in below code?

Set ObjSafeTaskItem = CreateObject("Redemption.SafeTaskItem")

If Not ObjSafeTaskItem Is Nothing Then

ObjSafeTaskItem.Item = ObjTaskItem

ObjSafeTaskItem.Save

ObjSafeTaskItem.Recipients.Add (strRecipient)

ObjSafeTaskItem.Recipients.ResolveAll

ObjSafeTaskItem.Assign

ObjSafeTaskItem.Display

'msgbox "1"

ObjSafeTaskItem.Send

Set ObjSafeTaskItem = Nothing

End If

ObjTaskItem.Close olSave

If Not ObjSafeTaskItem Is Nothing Then Set ObjSafeTaskItem = Nothing

If Not ObjTaskItem Is Nothing Then Set ObjTaskItem = Nothing

Thanks
 
When you make changes to a Redemption Safe*Item Outlook knows nothing about

those changes since they were made at the MAPI level. You need to fake

Outlook into thinking something has changed and then save the item after

having made the Safe*Item changes. Usually we use something like

item.Subject = item.Subject to make Outlook think something changed, then we

call Save() on the Outlook item Safe*Item objects have no Save() method so

they pass it through to Outlook.
