Yes, I have seen that your code did not create a task, I was commenting on your comment:

“One more thing… if you want to create a new task, you do it like this:

Dim MyApp As Outlook.Application = New Outlook.Application()

Dim outlookTask As Outlook.TaskItem = MyApp.Application.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olTaskItem)”

You have helped me a lot, thank you again!

Dim ns As Outlook.NameSpace
ns = MyApp.Application.GetNamespace(”MAPI”)
outlookTasksAll = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderTasks).Items

Again, you can download the source code from the link in my first comment and take a look at it.

No, I do not want to create a new task, I would like to grab the info for a better printout formatting.

You can take a look at my open source project that syncs RTM with Outlook you might find what you are looking for in the source code. There is more info at http://www.emadibrahim.com/2008/04/14/synchronize-outlook-tasks-with-remember-the-milk/

ARGH!

How do I actually get to the tasks then?
how do I acess the subject, for example?

Anytime I try using an object like
dim task as outlook.taskitem I get a NULL reference exception.
If I use
dim task as new outlook.taskitem() I get a “can not be used in this context, as outlook.classitem is FRIEND”

help, please?
