Outlook Task Request coding Question

Hi all,

I have designed a simple Access db and form for end-users that creates an Outlook task request. The only problem is that I do not want users to receive updates to these tasks and view the notes and progress of the task. Is there a way to programmatically turn off the "Keep an updated copy of this task request on my task list" option for that request. This option is selected by Outlook client default.

Another question, not as pertinant, is there a way to capture a successful send event. I would like to display a message and have code execute to track the items as they are sent. The issue arises because if a user does not have outlook open, and they click 'no' to the "Allow to Send from Outlook" security question, you cannot capture this error as the error number is the same as choosing 'yes' (NOTE - this is only if Outlook is NOT already open and the code must open an instance to send the request). In this case, even though the send command does not execute, the code after the even will still run (i.e. a record of the task is saved even though the item is NOT sent, including a code to show a message that your request was successfully sent)

Other than that, my utility works perfectly.

Thanks for any input that can help me out!!

-Jeff
