This task was delegated to more than one person. Updates will not be tracked.

This one is a real mystery...i bet the answer is going to
be either real simple or real complex!

I have a function which creates a task item and returns
it.

The caller function (a toolbar function) takes the task,
assigns it and sends it.

On the receiving end, I get the message "This task was
delegated to more than one person. Updates will not be
tracked."

I have NO idea why I am getting this, the task is only
ever sent to 1 recipient!!!

See code below.

Anyone that could help me on this would be branded a
legend for EVER! It is SOO irritating not getting
updates on assigned tasks ... defeats the purpose of
using Outlook!

Hi-

I'm going to quote from the VBA Help:

" You must create a task before you can assign it, and you
must assign a task before you can send it. An assigned
task is sent as a TaskRequestItem object."

I don't see where, in your code, you create the task using
CreateItem(). Is this happening in other code you haven't
posted?

Yes, the is created in the ExportPLMSTaskToOutlook inside
the first IF statement. Basically, what the code is
doing here is saying 'if there is already a task created,
update the existing task'. Obviously, this will cause
problems if the task is delegated and sent, but I will
work on that later. The problem is that when I create a
whole bunch of new task assignments and send them, the
recipient gets the "This task was delegated to more than
one person. Updates will not be tracked." message!

AAAARG!!
I am going to have to try varying the sender outlook and
the reciever outlook.

What is that call to GetSystemSetting? It doesn't look
like you're Adding any actual recipients.
