This article was previously published under Q179311



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Outlook 97 the "Keep an updated copy of this Task on my Task List" is unavailable and a task request that you assigned to another user does not update in your task list.



CAUSE
You have assigned a recurring Task.



RESOLUTION
To track assigned tasks you must assign each occurrence as an individual task.



MORE INFORMATION
When you send a recurring Task Request, individual occurrences of the Task Request are generated, one at a time, in the assignee's Task list. That is, when the assignee marks an instance of the recurring Task as complete, Outlook generates the next occurrence of the Task. However, only a single task record representing the recurring series is stored in the sender's Task List. Therefore, Outlook does not send a status message until the entire series is completed.
