How can I prioritize tasks by number in Outlook 2007?

I originally posted this here

http://groups.google.com/group/micr...e7dbc2?lnk=st&q=jay.meerdink#3ff76d3cf2e7dbc2

on Jul 16. But it hasn't been resolved and the thread dried up. I'm
hoping that by reposting I can bring the issue to the forefront again.

Thanks all!


I am trying to create a custom priority for my tasks in Outlook 2007,
but I'm
not able to edit the field that was created when I changed the
settings to
include a custom priority. I'm trying to put a number into it, so
that I can
sort my tasks in a certain category by number, but I'm not able to.

I used the Field Chooser for the folder to add two new properties, one
integer and one text, and I can type in both of them. The view I am using has
in-cell editing turned on. I would suggest that you try using the same
procedure -- create a new property to hold the data, rather than using the
Custom Priority field, which is probably reserved for Outlook's internal use.
