Generate tasks for new hires

[crystal_xyz]

Hi everyone,

I am using Outlook 2003. On our staffing team, we have 5 people who
complete several tasks when we have a new person joining the firm. For
example:

New Manager John Doe, beginning 11/15/05

Tasks:

Bob---
assign mentor for John Doe
add John Doe to employee database

Jennifer--
assign performance manager for John Doe
etc...

I'm sure there must be an Outlook tool/add-in that can help with this.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to enter in the name of the new hire and
start date, and have the tasks automatically generated and sent to
each person. Hopefully the tool would insert the new hire's name into a
list of generic tasks as shown above.

Has anyone heard of such a tool or functionality?

THANKS in advance,
Crystal.

It could easily be developed with a Custom form and code. An Outlook forms
group would be the place to start.
