I have created a Custom Task Request that is distributed to multiple people
via a distribution list. I am also creating a form based on a "Message" that
is sent when the action button is clicked that will notify the task initiator
that that individuals portion is complete. I would like to disable the
automatic task update that happens when someone clicks on the complete check
box so that there is not two updates received (I hope i'm making sense). Can
this be done?

Also, I would like to have someone cc'd on the completed status (above) when
the custom form is sent via the action. How can you cc someone that has not
initiated the task or is not a receiver of the task?

Please help!

If you need to maintain state with your custom Task form, you could do so
with a custom field that is flagged with a particular value depending on an
action performed or a value that is changed.

For your circumstances, perhaps checking the value of TaskItem.Status during
the Item_Open event, and disabling your relevant controls that creates your
update messages?

If you want Cc or Bcc functionality for Task Requests, add these people to
the TaskItem's StatusUpdateRecipients or StatusOnCompletionRecipients
collections respectively.
