You might want to give your Outlook verson and explain what you mean by a
follow-up task.

Outlook 2003 -
I would like to generate a follow-up Task in Outlook, Outlook currently has
task built-in however I would like when i send out my custom form to
automatically add a follow-up task that would let me know in a couple of days
or few hours to check back with this person if they had not responded yet to
the original email....does that help?

So, what kind of help are you looking for? You already said in your original
post that you have code to open and send a task. Creating another task would
use the same Application.CreateItem code.

Sorry, forgive me for I am a n00b at VBA:
I have the code that allows me to Open a Custom Outlook form.

Sub DisplayForm()
Set myFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myItem = myFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Note.Release Communication1")
myItem.Display
End Sub

What i do not have is the rest of the code that will once the email is sent
create/schedule a follow-up task within outlook to remind me to check back
with the individual with a set timeframe in mind, say 48 hours or 2 bus days
Thanks
