Assign a task using MAPI Properties

[s s via OfficeKB.com]

I am able to create a task and add to Task folder programmatically.
But not able to assign it.

I want to assign a task in Task folder through an application program.
What MAPI properties do I have to set so that the task item I create in
Task folder gets assigned to another user.

You must use the Assign method. See this sample from the Outlook VBA help
file:

Sub AssignTask()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myItem As Outlook.TaskItem
Dim myDelegate As Outlook.Recipient
Set MyItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
MyItem.Assign
Set myDelegate = MyItem.Recipients.Add("Dan Wilson")
myDelegate.Resolve
If myDelegate.Resolved Then
myItem.Subject = "Prepare Agenda For Meeting"
myItem.DueDate = Now + 30
myItem.Display
myItem.Send
End If
End Sub
