Copy A Task by Unique ID

[Darren_S15]

I am trying to create a new task from an existing task so that all the
original tasks properties are also copied over.

Sounds easy right? Thats what I thought until I realised there are
over 400 properites.

Anyone got any clever ideas how this can be done in VBA?

The issue I ran into was I can select the original task and then set a
new task object to equal this object.

Only this did not behave how I thought as the new task is now the
original task, so any changes I make are on the original task.

Any help...

Thanks,
Darren

questions to the .developer group.

To answer your question record a macro of you doing a copy paste of the
whole task. It does unfortunately require you to move the active cell, but
it is the quickest way.
