Is ElseIf the right expression here?

I'm very new to this but I have found a fabulous macro - for managing my
tasks - with user defined fields of "project" and 'next action'. I would like
some guidance to add a function and I was wondering if you could please tell
me what expression to use?

Basically in the body of a task - with a user defined field called 'Project'
The trigger for the "Next Steps" macro is a "- " lead ahead of each
action, with one action per line.

A task to trigger the "Next Steps" code would look like this:

Project: project name

Subject: First Task

Notes/Body field looks like this
- Second Task
- Third Task
- Fourth Task
- Fifth Task
....etc
so by completing the task with the ' Subject: First Task' then action 2
leaves the task body and gets put into the subject field.
For me I sort by 'action' so all the @calls are together when I am at a
phone etc
to do this I include a context under each next action
- call Jane for Luke's email
@calls
- email Luke to set up a time to meet
@computer
- draft up notes for the meeting
@computer
....etc

when the next "-" task moves up from body to subject how do I move the "@"
Action below it move to the the user defined 'Action' Field and move the next
"-" up to the first line of the task body???

here is the macro

thank you so much Michael!!!! one last question - thisoutlooksession is
corrupted I think as OL2003 will not open - is there a way to clear
thisoutlooksession of all code so I can at least open OL2003?

its ok - I figured out that by holding down cntrl key while starting OL2003
starts it in safe mode and I deleted all the thisoutlooksession code then
restarted OL2003

thank you again, Fiona

Michael - just to confirm ... this will send up the next "-" as well as the
"@" into the new task and then when I tick this one as complete - it will
create then next task using the next "-" as well as the "@" ??

I'm very new to this but I have found a fabulous macro - for managing my
tasks - with user defined fields of "project" and 'next action'. I would like
some guidance to add a function and I was wondering if you could please tell
me what expression to use?

Basically in the body of a task - with a user defined field called 'Project'
The trigger for the "Next Steps" macro is a "- " lead ahead of each
action, with one action per line.

A task to trigger the "Next Steps" code would look like this:

Project: project name

Subject: First Task

Notes/Body field looks like this
- Second Task
- Third Task
- Fourth Task
- Fifth Task
...etc
so by completing the task with the ' Subject: First Task' then action 2
leaves the task body and gets put into the subject field.
For me I sort by 'action' so all the @calls are together when I am at a
phone etc
to do this I include a context under each next action
- call Jane for Luke's email
@calls
- email Luke to set up a time to meet
@computer
- draft up notes for the meeting
@computer
...etc

when the next "-" task moves up from body to subject how do I move the "@"
Action below it move to the the user defined 'Action' Field and move the next
"-" up to the first line of the task body???

so just to confirm ... I can now take the next "-" as well as the "@" up into
the new task and when I tick that task complete - the macro will open a new
task with the "-" as well as the "@" in the correct spots?

I'm very new to this but I have found a fabulous macro - for managing my
tasks - with user defined fields of "project" and 'next action'. I would like
some guidance to add a function and I was wondering if you could please tell
me what expression to use?

Basically in the body of a task - with a user defined field called 'Project'
The trigger for the "Next Steps" macro is a "- " lead ahead of each
action, with one action per line.

A task to trigger the "Next Steps" code would look like this:

Project: project name

Subject: First Task

Notes/Body field looks like this
- Second Task
- Third Task
- Fourth Task
- Fifth Task
...etc
so by completing the task with the ' Subject: First Task' then action 2
leaves the task body and gets put into the subject field.
For me I sort by 'action' so all the @calls are together when I am at a
phone etc
to do this I include a context under each next action
- call Jane for Luke's email
@calls
- email Luke to set up a time to meet
@computer
- draft up notes for the meeting
@computer
...etc

when the next "-" task moves up from body to subject how do I move the "@"
Action below it move to the the user defined 'Action' Field and move the next
"-" up to the first line of the task body???

so just to confirm ... I can now take the next "-" as well as the "@" up
into
the new task and when I tick that task complete - the macro will open a
new
task with the "-" as well as the "@" in the correct spots?

I'm very new to this but I have found a fabulous macro - for managing my
tasks - with user defined fields of "project" and 'next action'. I would
like
some guidance to add a function and I was wondering if you could please
tell
me what expression to use?

Basically in the body of a task - with a user defined field called
'Project'
The trigger for the "Next Steps" macro is a "- " lead ahead of each
action, with one action per line.

A task to trigger the "Next Steps" code would look like this:

Project: project name

Subject: First Task

Notes/Body field looks like this
- Second Task
- Third Task
- Fourth Task
- Fifth Task
...etc
so by completing the task with the ' Subject: First Task' then action 2
leaves the task body and gets put into the subject field.
For me I sort by 'action' so all the @calls are together when I am at a
phone etc
to do this I include a context under each next action
- call Jane for Luke's email
@calls
- email Luke to set up a time to meet
@computer
- draft up notes for the meeting
@computer
...etc

when the next "-" task moves up from body to subject how do I move the
"@"
Action below it move to the the user defined 'Action' Field and move the
next
"-" up to the first line of the task body???

here is the macro

so just to confirm ... I can now take the next "-" as well as the "@" up
into
the new task and when I tick that task complete - the macro will open a
new
task with the "-" as well as the "@" in the correct spots?

I'm very new to this but I have found a fabulous macro - for managing my
tasks - with user defined fields of "project" and 'next action'. I would
like
some guidance to add a function and I was wondering if you could please
tell
me what expression to use?

Basically in the body of a task - with a user defined field called
'Project'
The trigger for the "Next Steps" macro is a "- " lead ahead of each
action, with one action per line.

A task to trigger the "Next Steps" code would look like this:

Project: project name

Subject: First Task

Notes/Body field looks like this
- Second Task
- Third Task
- Fourth Task
- Fifth Task
...etc
so by completing the task with the ' Subject: First Task' then action 2
leaves the task body and gets put into the subject field.
For me I sort by 'action' so all the @calls are together when I am at a
phone etc
to do this I include a context under each next action
- call Jane for Luke's email
@calls
- email Luke to set up a time to meet
@computer
- draft up notes for the meeting
@computer
...etc

when the next "-" task moves up from body to subject how do I move the
"@"
Action below it move to the the user defined 'Action' Field and move the
next
"-" up to the first line of the task body???

here is the macro

In that way it´s easy to see what statements belong to what If or Else

You can write this:

I'm trying to set the userdefined field "action" with your calculated

Set objNewTask.UserProperties.Add("Action", olText) = NextAction

The sample is an extension to your existing code. It only extracts the

objNewTask.Subject and objNewTask.Body and its UserProperties called "Next

As for the problems with opening the VBA project: Please delete line 20 and

so just to confirm ... I can now take the next "-" as well as the "@" up
into
the new task and when I tick that task complete - the macro will open a
new
task with the "-" as well as the "@" in the correct spots?

Insert this between line 10 and 20:

I'm very new to this but I have found a fabulous macro - for
Click to expand...
managing
my
tasks - with user defined fields of "project" and 'next action'. I would
like
some guidance to add a function and I was wondering if you could please
tell
me what expression to use?

Basically in the body of a task - with a user defined field called
'Project'
The trigger for the "Next Steps" macro is a "- " lead ahead of each
action, with one action per line.

A task to trigger the "Next Steps" code would look like this:

Project: project name

Subject: First Task

Notes/Body field looks like this
- Second Task
- Third Task
- Fourth Task
- Fifth Task
...etc
so by completing the task with the ' Subject: First Task' then
Click to expand...
action
2
leaves the task body and gets put into the subject field.
For me I sort by 'action' so all the @calls are together when I am
Click to expand...
at
a
phone etc
to do this I include a context under each next action
- call Jane for Luke's email
@calls
- email Luke to set up a time to meet
@computer
- draft up notes for the meeting
@computer
...etc

when the next "-" task moves up from body to subject how do I move the
"@"
Action below it move to the the user defined 'Action' Field and move the
next
"-" up to the first line of the task body???

here is the macro

Sorry, reading that is too much effort. For me, please delete all the line

like this:

If ... Then
indent the code

Else
If ... Then
indent the code

In that way it´s easy to see what statements belong to what If or Else

After that you could add the line numbers again.
