Default Creating a task in Outlook from a date in Excel

Not sure you can do this but what I have is a list of potential customers and
next action follow up dates in an excel spreadsheet. Can I apply a task
(within excel) to provide me a reminder to follow that enquiry up on that
specific date. A bit convoluted I know but it's how I am working.
Thanks for now
Jamie

Default Creating a task in Outlook from a date in Excel


Hi Jamie

I think that this is possible, having played with oulook a fair bit. Sadly I
dont run Outlook at work so cannot provide any solid direction. The following
sites have some info on Outlook, that whilst not exactly topical may point
you in the right direction.

http://www.mcgimpsey.com/index.html
http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html

Hope these help

Thanks for the links I will try and do some more digging. Any chance you
could play around and see if it is possible outside of your office hours.
It's cheeky I know but hey, if you don't ask.....
thanks anyway
