Custom Task Form

[SrYap]

Created a new Task form. Published it in Task folder. How do I use this new
task form in MS-Access?

You don't.

Custom Outlook forms are used in Outlook, not Access.

You need to specify the class name of the custom form with the
MAPIFolder.Items.Add method for the folder where you want to create it:

Sub AddForm()
Dim myOlApp As New outlook.Application
Dim myNamespace As outlook.NameSpace
Dim myItems As outlook.Items
Dim myFolder As outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myItem As outlook.TaskItem
Set myNamespace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = _
myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
Set myItems = myFolder.Items
Set myItem = myItems.Add("IPM.Task.myTask")
End Sub

Is this code to create a new form using MS-Access or to access the new form
created in Outlook? If it is to access the new form, do I use the same way to
assign the task, due date, .... as if it is the default Task form from
Outlook?

Thanks.

MAPIFolder.Items.Add method for the folder where you want to create it:

Sub AddForm()
Dim myOlApp As New outlook.Application
Dim myNamespace As outlook.NameSpace
Dim myItems As outlook.Items
Dim myFolder As outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myItem As outlook.TaskItem
Set myNamespace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = _
myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
Set myItems = myFolder.Items
Set myItem = myItems.Add("IPM.Task.myTask")
End Sub

This is Outlook code, so it's going to create an Outlook Task form, not an
Access form.

Even customized Task forms use the same properties and methods as the
TaskItem object. So yes - assign it and set dates as you normally would,
either in code or in the form.
