Oops, I missed the last part of the subject about doing it with code. Unzip the files in Home()+'tools\xsource'. Open up tasklist.prg and find the tasklist.addTask method. The method assumes that you're passing it a tasklist object, but using the addTask method as a template, you could just as easily populate the record yourself.

There are some gotchas that are commented in the current build (which you don't have). The main one to watch out for is an invalid priority value. This must be totaskobj._Priority < 1 Or totaskobj._Priority > 3, or you will get lots of errors at runtime. This problem has since been fixed in later builds.

If you've got any more questions, ask them today because I'll be offline for about two weeks starting tomorrow.
