VB.NET 2005 in Outlook Task Automation

[vbtrying]

Can I assign a task from within VB.NET to another user other than myself? I
can assign a task to my current task list, but I want to assign tasks across
the corporate enterprise to other people. Can this be done?

I am using VB.NET 2005, Outlook 2003

Here is the code I am using: This works fine for sending a TASK to my own
Outlook account:

Dim App As Outlook.Application
Dim Task As Outlook.TaskItem
App = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Task = App.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olTaskItem)
With Task
.Subject = "This is the SUBJECT line"
.Body = "This is the BODY of the text"
.ReminderSet = True
.DueDate = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 5, Today)
.Save()
End With

Have a look at the TaskRequestItem type and the assign method:

Ed,

I spoke too soon. This process puts a mail item entry into the receipients
inbox. It does not put a task line item in the receipients task list. That is
what I was looking for.

Thanks anyway, I'll keep looking ....
