Poor choice of object names on my part but the subroutine worked on my
system without error. I just modified an old sub to handle the subfolder
assignment. Try declaring the TaskItem as a varient and see if that works.

Rather than use
Set olTask = olApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
you want to get the folder and then
objFolders.Items.Add

Below is an example of a sub that you should be able to modify. This
is
adding tasks to a subfolder of my 'Tasks' folder that I've named "Very
Important"

________________________________

Sub LoadTasks()

Const olFolderTasks = 13

Dim r As Integer
Dim x As Integer

r = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row

Set ol = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set ns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolderDF = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
Set olFolder = olFolderDF.Folders("Very Important")

For x = 1 To r
Set taskItem = olFolder.Items.Add
With taskItem
.Subject = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, 1).Value
.DueDate = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, 2).Value
.Save
End With
Next x

Set taskItem = Nothing
Set ns = Nothing
Set ol = Nothing

End Sub

I am using the following to succefully create tasks within Outlook
but
only to the default Task folder.
How can I specify to save the task to a particular task folder?

Sub AddTasksToOutlook()
'!! Reference to Outlook object library required !!

Dim olTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim lngRow As Long, shtSource As Worksheet

'Get reference to MS Outlook
On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err.Number < 0 Then
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set shtSource = ActiveSheet

'Enter number of orders to process in A1
For lngRow = 2 To shtSource.Cells(1, 1).Value + 1
Set olTask = olApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
With olTask
.Subject = shtSource.Cells(lngRow, 2) + " " +

shtSource.Cells(lngRow, 6))
.Categories = "Purchase Orders"
.Save
End With
Next lngRow
End Sub

anyone know how to do this? It would be a great help. tia

Thanks Steve,
It wouldn't quite work. For some reason it is treating
olFolder in
Set olFolder = olFolderDF.Folders("Order Tracking")
as constant saying:
Assignment to Constant Not Permitted.

Why would it treat this as a constant?

I declared it as a mapifolder and the error went away. Then I declared
the taskitem b/c it had the same error.
No my error is 424 Object Required at - Set NamSp =
ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")

hmm...
