How do I display Contact fields in a Task

[Guest]

How do I display Contact fields in a Task, specifically in Outlook 2003,
using a vb script to capture the properties of a Contact that is set for this
task?

For example, if I have a contact called CustomerA that includes fields like
CustomerNumber, and I have a task called "Bug discovered in product today"
with the contact set to CustomerA, and in the vb script code for this Task
form I want to display the CustomerNumber of CustomerA, how can I do that?

I've been searching the web for a few hours looking for an answer to this
question, and every place I've looked either doesn't address it or suggests
it simply isn't possible.

Is this possible?

Thanks

You have to write code to get the related contact from the TaskItem.Links
collection, get the desired property value, and set the corresponding
property value in the task. For a VBA example, see
