Hi All:
I know that Outlook does not natively support subtasks and that many have asked for it on this forum. With this in mind, I have a work around that seems plausible, but needs a bit of help from the VBA masters here on this forum. I have all of my tasks with hierarchical names as follows:
1.1 - Task Category - Task 1 Description
1.2 - Task Category - Task 2 Description
1.3 - Task Category - Task 3 Description
Etc. ...
What I would love to do in Outlook is create a task with name "1.0 - Task Category" and then run a macro to pull in a list of the sub-tasks (presumably using VBA to scan the task name). Is something like that possible? Information on how to manipulate tasks is scant so having a hard time even getting a list of tasks within outlook (I have only been able find how to export to Excel currently).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
