I have been troubling myself on how to quickly bring up a new outlook task when in Visual Studio 2003. There are automation samples that show how to sync up tasks, even add new ones to outlook. However, I wanted to be able to set more options then just a title for the task.
Then I remembered External Tools.
1. Select Tools - External Tools
2. Click Add with the following properties
- Title = Outlook Tasks
- Command = Location of Outlook Executable
- Arguments = /c ipm.task
3. Select OK. This should now be in your menu under tools.
