Is there a way to programatically add items to the outlook task list using VB
..net?

Hi,

Add a reference to microsoft.office.interop.outlook.

Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

Imports System.Reflection

Module Module1

Sub Main()

' Create an Outlook application.

Dim oApp As Outlook.Application = New Outlook.Application



' Create a new contact item.

Dim oTsk As Outlook.TaskItem =
DirectCast(oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olTaskItem), Outlook.TaskItem)

'oCt.Display(True) 'Modal

oTsk.Status = Outlook.OlTaskStatus.olTaskInProgress

oTsk.PercentComplete = 50

oTsk.Importance = Outlook.OlImportance.olImportanceHigh

oTsk.Subject = "My new task"

oTsk.Save()

' Clean up.

oApp = Nothing

oTsk = Nothing

End Sub

End Module

In addition to Ken's comments:

The following site provides a good place to start on articles about using
Outlook & .NET.

Thank you very much for your help. Both of you.
Just one more thing. What happens if I want to use my program on different
computers that have different versions of Office? Will that create a problem?
