Creating RTM Tasks directly from Outlook!

I thought I would share with everyone how I link Outlook to RTM!!

I created a User form in outlook that can capture the task information, automatically using the subject of a selected email as the task (you can change it). After filling in the form and pressing submit, a macro script creates an email message in the RTM format. You then press send and the taks is sent to RTM.

The macro can also append the selected message to the task as a Note!

I borrowed some code from another RTM Member koenie

You need to download these three files:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/430284/RTMTaskForm.frm
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/430284/RTMTaskForm.frx
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/430284/MilkIt.bas

And then Import RTMTaskForm.frm and MilkIt.bas into the Outlook VBA editor

I am no way a professional progammer so appologies or any improper code! Remember to enable macros :) enjoy! Let us know of any improvements :)
