Example
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses CreateItem to create a simple task and delegate it as a task request to another user. To run this example, replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name.
Sub AssignTask()
Dim myItem As Outlook.TaskItem
Dim myDelegate As Outlook.Recipient
Set MyItem = Application.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
MyItem.Assign
Set myDelegate = MyItem.Recipients.Add("Dan Wilson")
myDelegate.Resolve
If myDelegate.Resolved Then
myItem.Subject = "Prepare Agenda For Meeting"
myItem.DueDate = Now + 30
myItem.Display
myItem.Send
End If
End Sub
