The question that I get most often when I talk to developers about SharePoint Document Workflow is on Sending and Tracking tasks for the people participating in a document workflow. So, in this 4th part of the series that I am doing on "Building Document
Workflow" in SharePoint/MOSS 2007, I am demonstrating how to send a basic SharePoint Task with Visual Studio and at the end you will see how to connect an Outlook Client to the Portals Task List, so that a user can see the tasks within their Outlook desktop
Client.

Greetings Robert, I was wondering, int the video you show how to connect outlook to a sharepoint task list, I did that but doing it allows me to see task that aren't assigned to me, is it possible to filter the task I export to Outlook to only show those assigned to the current user?, I know i can apply filters in outlook but it's not practical.
Thanks in advance!.
Hello,
Is there a way to program an auto reminder in the SharePoint Workflow (say 1 hr to the expected delivery time) to inform the user that he/she has 1hr left to execute task. Especially when the user is always on Microsoft Outlook.
Thanks in advance!
