Question : Is there a way to block all task items issued by people to me in Outlook 2007?

Is there a way to block all task items issued by people to me?  

 

Currently, most people send an email with a task flag on the email and it shows up in my task items.  

 

So over a week I have a lot of task items in my to do list that aren’t valid.

 
Thank you all.

Answer : Is there a way to block all task items issued by people to me in Outlook 2007?

I didn't have one, but was able to whip one up.  Follow these instructions to use this solution.

1.  Start Outlook
2.  Click Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor
3.  If not already expanded, expand Microsoft Office Outlook Objects
4.  If not already expanded, expand Modules
5.  Select an existing module (e.g. Module1) by double-clicking on it or create a new module by right-clicking Modules and selecting Insert > Module.
6.  Copy the code from the Code Snippet box and paste it into the right-hand pane of Outlook's VB Editor window
7.  Edit the code as needed.  I included comments wherever something needs to or can change
8.  Click the diskette icon on the toolbar to save the changes
9.  Close the VB Editor
10. Create a new rule
11. leave the rule's condition blank so it fires for all messages
12. Set the rule's action to "run a script" and select this script as the one to run

That should do it.  

Always glad to meet a fellow ACC fan.
