Sub Category/Tasks in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

Hello Everyone!

I was wondering if Outlook 2003 allows for sub tasks? For instance if I were
to have a task that requires several other tasks to be completed first before
it could be completed. Say I have a task that says to hold a meeting, could I
have sub tasks that I am required to do to actual hold that meeting? This
type of fucntion is a real necessity in my work & I can;t figure out how to
do it in Outlook. I fear that it actually cant be done but thought I would
ask first.

If others have a beat on an add-in or another program that is outlook
capitable that allows for a function like this, could you please post a link?

Thanks in advance!
Peace

Tasks have no dependencies (must do this one first etc) but you can
Categorise to show all Tasks that relate.

There are also no sub-categories but you can work around that a bit with
this approach:

Golf Day - planning
Golf Day - purchasing
Golf Day - invitees

Then you can use these Categories for the Contacts, Tasks and Meetings that
relate to the same "project".
