Outlook Object Model : Creating simple tasks programmatically using OOM & VBA?

In this post, we will create the simple Outlook tasks programmatically using Outlook Object Model API & VBA. We do this by using the code snippet:

 '[Code Snippet for creating Simple Tasks using Outlook Object Model API & VBA]

 Private Sub CreateTasks()

     'Declare the Task item

     Dim objTask As TaskItem

     ' Create Outlook Task item

     Set objTask = Application.CreateItem(olTaskItem)

     'Define its values

     objTask.Subject = "Test Item"

     objTask.Body = "Test task item"

     objTask.Importance = olImportanceNormal

     objTask.Status = olTaskNotStarted

     objTask.NoAging = True

     'Save the task

     objTask.Save

     MsgBox "Task Created"

     ' Clean up.

     Set objTask = Nothing

 End Sub

  @RAM - Explain what you mean by custom tab? If you want to run the above macro then you need to make use of Outlook VBA Editor. Refer: msdn.microsoft.com/.../ee814736(v=office.14).aspx and www.slipstick.com/.../how-to-use-outlooks-vba-editor
