Set taskItems = itTasks.Items

For Each task In taskItems
count = count + 1

statusText = ""
With task
creationTime = .creationTime . Works
subject = .subject ' Works
statusText = .Status ' Does not work
End With

I can get the subject and the creationTime but how do I get the status?
I can't seem to get it in the same manner.
I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003, (the mail box is on an Exchange Server 2007 server , same DOMAIN same LAN)

I mentioned them only because I think they are familiar to Outlook users and developers. ADX's task pane features are much improved as you can place a task pane just about anywhere. Take a look at this screen shot...http://www.add-in-express.com/add-in-net/ . I question the usability of some of the locations but it is cool how they have made it easy. Over Thanksgiving, I'll get around to finishing a code sample and will write Part 3. I'll be sure to add some details about the various locations, etc. Agreed about Xobni.

They're using Windows subclassing and grafting their own UI onto the right hand side. ADX's Task Pane implementation for the Explorer is only for the bottom half of the To-Do Bar.

They save time and the users have much less stress. I'm a Lookeen-user and I, of course, think that Lookeen is the best searchtool in this world :) The main problem is that Microsoft has not been able to give Outlook a powerful search-feature. That's not a problem for users which get 1 or 2 mails per day, but if one uses Outlook for work, the e-mail-flood is a big problem. Thats the point and I want to thank the developers of such searchtools for making my everydays business much easier! Here is the link for my favourite searchtool http://www.lookeen.net (the best ;)) Hello,

If you can tell me How to build a Xobni-like Task Pane in Outlook without using Add-In-Express, that would be much more helpful. Thank you... I added the panel only to Explorer window intentionally.

What isn't so easy is managing your task pane instances so that they are visible in every Explorer or Inspector window (not to mention that each instance is destroyed when you close the Explorer and Inspectors). The code in your example will only display your task pane in the main Outlook Explorer ...which could be fine as long as the user doesn't open additional Explorers.
