All I was asking for was a sense of what was possible. &nbsp;Next step is to see if someone can help me do it.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an Excel spreadsheet in which the user creates goals, projects and tasks for the purpose of staying organized.<br />
<br />
I have a friend who is using it and he has actually used Outlook for task management. &nbsp;He's asked me if the spreadsheet he's now using could be integrated with Outlook so that he could manage tasks from either application.<br />
<br />
I don't know the details of exactly what he's hoping for, but I thought I'd lob the general question out for feedback.<br />
<br />
What else do you need to know to answer the question? &nbsp;Are there limitations that might be deal breakers for usability?<br />
<br />
FYI, the spreadsheet does include a significant amount of VBA, conditional formatting, Data validation and such.<br />
<br />
Thanks, Jim

Can Excel trigger actions on a task in Outlook?

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
