Tracking delegated task on calendar

[Bmosbacker]

I often assign tasks to subordinates by email with a due date. I've been
using the Franklin Covey Add-in for Outlook that adds a drop down box which
includes (delegate and send). When this is selected, the Task dialog box
comes up and you select the due date. This task then appears on your calendar
(as a task) on the date that it is due.

Can something like this be done in Outlook 2007 with the need for using the
add-in?

Thank you.

You can do almost what you want but on the TaskPad - by assigning Tasks,
leaving the defaults on to "keep an updated copy of this Task on my TaskPad"
and then show the Owner column in the TaskPad.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
