When I accept a task, it is not moved to my tasks.

[Guest]

I believe that when I receive an assigned task in my inbox, after I click
"accept" a message should come ben sent to the assigner letting them know
that I've accepted. However, when I click accept or decline, nothing
happens. The assigner doesn't receive an email and the task is not moved to
my task list.

Here's the latest from Microsoft for those of you with Task Assignment
problems. This is for situations where you cannot accept a Task, no updates
are sent etc.


It appears to be that update kb 892843 is not installed correctly.

Remove the update. If there are multiple copies installed, remove all
copies.

To remove the update:
Go to Add/Remove programs
Click the 'Show updates' checkbox
Find Microsoft Office 2003
Find the Update listed below as: Security Update for Outlook 2003 (KB
892843)
OLKINTLff
Then remove it

If this resolves the issue reinstall the update and attempt the install of
hotfix
913695 Description of the Outlook 2003 post-Service Pack 2 hotfix package:
January
23, 2006
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;913695>


NOTE:
Uninstalling the update will NOT fix tasks that have already been received
but future tasks work.

Most cases appear to have at least 2 copies of the update installed.
