Question about automatic replies when task is complete

I have a form setup in public folders so that everyone can see the status of tasks placed in there, I have it set up with a rule so that when an item is placed in there it shoots back an email stating that the order has been placed...my question is that is there an easy way to shoot an email stating the order is complete and ready for pickup??? I would have used task request however they dont like going to public folders...

You could create a custom eform. The users could use the eform to submit tasks. The form could contain vbscript to send an email to the person who originally submitted the task when it is marked as complete. I have designed a similar eform based helpdesk application which notifies the user when there task has been completed.
