Linking checklist with outlook

[Jeff Hart]

Morning,

I work in WA State conducting fraud and elder abuse investigations. We have
a check list we use to ensure certain tasks are complete and set deadlines
for them to be completed. We have 15-20 of these investigations ongoing at
any time. I want to link the deadlines on the checklist with my outlook
calendar. I want to make sure that I don't have any conflicts, the dates I
am setting are not weekends etc, and have the calendar remind me of the up
coming deadlines.

Can this checklist, which is in word, be linked with my calendar or can I
create a template in outlook say in the TASK section.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You are probably a perfect candidate for Taskline, the only task scheduling
add-in that I have found that will take into consideration all of your
constraints when scheduling a task deadline.

Available from http://www.taskline.com - the only caveat may be that you
work for a state agency and it may not be on the approved software list.
Too bad if it isn't... I have used it since its inception and love it.

(I am not affiliated with Taskline - I just beta tested the first version.)
