Question : Using Tasks in Outlook as with update list

We are working as a team of several people.
One of the guys in the team is the leader.
We need a way to manage our tasks.
Each one can have either tasks assigned by the leader or task that he create him self.
Each one has to see both kinds of the tasks (his own and the tasks that have been assigned to him by the leader).
The leader has to have a list (on a single display) of all of the task of everybody (task that he sent to everybody and tasks people created them self).
We obviously use exchange server.

Please advice.

Answer : Using Tasks in Outlook as with update list

Hi, knfevg.

There is no means of doing what you want that's built into Outlook.  The leader in this situation is only going to see his tasks and those that he's created and assigned.  He is not going to see tasks that each team member has created, because they only exist in that team member's mailbox.  For this to work the way you've described there would have to be a mechanism in place that automatically copied each task a team member creates back to the leader's mailbox.  There is no such mechanism.  There may be a third-party solution that does this, and I if you have some programming talent available, then they could write something.  Slipstick.com (http://slipstick.com/addins/index.htm) is a good place to look for third-party solutions.  Outlookcode.com (http://Outlookcode.com) is a good place to look for sample code and ideas if you want to try building your own solution.  If you have some money to throw at this problem, then I'd look into Microsoft SharePoint Services.  It comes with Windows Server 2003, but you'll need to spend some money on training to make effective use of it.
