Hi there, I have a neat little routine which i've made into a button in Outlook that turns an email into a task and makes it due today or next week or next month. All good. however, I've now adopted a task prioirity scheme that involves me marking tasks as either priority 1, 2, 3, or 4. I created a custom field in Tasks to store these values and I can populate the appropriate priority value (1,2,3 or 4) manually but would like to know how to do it in my code by having a little dialog box appear where I can choose either 1, 2, 3 or 4 and then click OK and have the value stored in the custom field. Currently, the code that tracks the category on the task looks like this: olTask.Categories = "PIPC - Practice" so I don't understand why the custom field doesn't appear as an attribute of olTask. Any assistance, please?
