Adding Recurrence Field to Tasks

[Karen]

Using Outlook 2003
I have my list of tasks for my department grouped by category. The fields I
have visible are Subject, Status, Due Date & Start Date. I want to add a
column for "Recurrence." I want to be able to see if the recurrence is (for
example) monthly, weekly or annually. I don't need to know if it's the first
Monday of every month, just that it's monthly. I went into the field chooser
and I cannot find a field that would accomplish this. Can this be done? There
is a recurring field, but that just lets me know if the task IS recurring,
not when.
Thanks in advance, Karen

I don't think there is a field that will show you the period of the
recurrence, only the existance of one.

On tasks, no, because they don't create the next occurrence until you mark
the current one complete.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks - Actually when I set up the task, I set up the recurrence right away,
so it's already set up for weekly, monthly, annually. Is it possible to set
up a custom field when I set up the task and make note of the recurrence and
then choose that field? I'm going to give it a try.
