Tasks from Sharepoint Task List do not appear in the Outlook To-Do Bar Task List unless you choose a Flag status flag
Operating System:Windows XP Background: I am working with Outlook 2007 and Office Live Small Business (OLSB). I have created a Task List on the OLSB web interface and used the built in "Connect to outlook" action to sync the list with Outlook. I would like tasks that are sync'd from OLSB to be included in the To-Do Bar Task List. This does not seem possible unless the task is editted once in outlook. I have not been able to find a specific field that will casue the task to be included in the Task List, it is instead neccessary to choose a Flag Status from the Flag Status drop down list. It is acceptable to choose the "Custom" Flag status so that none of the Task Date fields are affected. So, I can achieve what I want; but how do I automate this so that new tasks added by colleagues are included in my To-Do Bar Task List. I have tried both assigned and unassigned tasks. I have removed all of the filters on the the Task List so that all tasks in all folders should be shown. I will keep this post up to date with any additional information given in the following replies.
