Outlook Tasks

[Guest]

I am attempting to add more info to the task list by adding cells. I added
cells by choosing View>Current View>Customize Current View. Choose View
Summary>Fields.

Selected available fields from>All Contact Fields and added "Contact"
"Business Phone" and "EMail" Hoping Outlook would automatically populate
these cells. Unfortunately only "Contact" was populated. Is there a way to
get the other cells to auto-populate, so it would make doing tasks directly
from the task area much quicker...???? Help. Thanks in advance! JPE from

Any folder view shows only the data in that folder, even though Outlook lets you think otherwise by allowing you to add fields from different types of items in the folder. What you tried doesn't work, because the Tasks folder contgains no Business Phone or Email data. You can accomplish what you want, however, with a little custom VBA code. For an example, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=566
