Can I create a button in Excel that generates a task in Outlook?

[Guest]

I have a line of 5 cells with information in them. I want to provide for the
end user a seemless action of clicking on a button at the end of this line to
create a task for Outlook and have the information auto inserted into this
task. Is this possible?

Doing this would require automating Outlook and using the Outlook object
model. You're much more likely to find that expertise in an Outlook
newsgroup. If someone there gives you code to create a task given your 5
items of information, it would be a pretty simple task to extend that code
to run from Excel.
