Show Contact's Business Phone on Task View

[Talina Galloway]

I am running Outlook 2007 on 64-bit Vista. I have customized my Task view to
show the fields I want to see.

When I attach a task to a contact record, then go to the Task View, the
"Business Phone" column is blank, despite the fact that the contact has a
business phone listed.

The same is true with the "File As" column, the "Company" column and all the
other phone number columns.

Is there something I need to do to make the information from these columns
translate over to the Tasks viewpane?

Any folder view shows only the data in that folder, even though Outlook lets
you think otherwise by allowing you to add fields from different types of
items in the folder. To accomplish what you want, you have to get the contact
data into the task items. That can be done with custom VBA code. For an
example, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=566
