Assigning tasks for another

[DKF]

I asked my secretary to assign a task to someone for me. She can access my
task list from her machine by opening up my mailbox. I am using Windows
2003 Server and Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2000 clients.

In my mailbox, I have given her permission as an editor and I have also
named her as a delegate with editor permission.

However, when she tries to assign a task from her machine using my mailbox,
it tells her she does not have permission to assign the task. I have
restarted Outlook and rebooted both machines after making the changes. Any
ideas how to get this done would be most appreciated. I know it can be done
since I was doing it before I built a new server. My old server was NT 4
SP6 and Exchange 5.5 Server. Thanks.

Grant her Send As rights to your mailbox (take away any send on behalf of
rights), and then she can use the From field to send the tasks as you (I
think!)

I'll give it a try but I'm not sure there is any "from" field when assigning
a task. There is a field where you can designate who is supposed to do the
task. I'll check tomorrow when I get in. Thanks for the reply.
