Using custom Task form

[SrYap]

I created a new Task form in Outlook. How do I use the new task form in
MS-Access without making it as the default task form.

First understand that although you're using Access to access Outlook, this is
a Outlook question. You are only using Access to manipulate Outlook.

The technical answer is that you need to .Add an item to the .Items
collection of your Inbox. The down-earth how to do it answer is this...

Dim objOutlook as Object
Dim nms as Object
Dim fldr as Object
Dim newMail

Const es_olFolderInbox = 6

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.application")

Set nms = objOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set fldr = nms.GetDefaultFolder(es_olFolderInbox)
'Replace IPM.Note with the className of your custom Task form, and
'change the variable from newMail to newTask for style purposes
Set newMail = fldr.Items.Add("IPM.Note")

With newMail
'See the VBA Reference in Outlook VBA Help for a list of the
various
'TaskItem properties as well as how to set any user defined
properties
end with
