TMGR: Outlook Task Updates Not Sent If Still in Edit Mode (162107)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Team Manager
- Microsoft Outlook 97
This article was previously published under Q162107 SYMPTOMS
If a team member edits a team task in Outlook and attempts to send an
update message to the manager while the task record is still in Edit mode,
then the manager will not receive the current changes.
If no other changes to team tasks were made since the last time an update
message was sent, then the following message is displayed:
No changes to your tasks have been made since you last
sent an update to your manager.
CAUSE
Changes to records in Outlook are not accepted until the ENTER key is
pressed or a different record is selected.
RESOLUTION
In Outlook, before using the Send Updates command on the Tools menu, make
sure any current record changes have been accepted by pressing the ENTER
key or by selecting a different record.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
In Outlook, a task record enters edit mode when a value is typed in a
field, or selected from a dropdown field. If a value is typed, a flashing
edit cursor appears in the field. When a value is selected from a dropdown
field, it enters edit mode even though no flashing cursor appears.
In either case, the record exits edit mode when the ENTER key is pressed,
or a different record is selected. Clicking a checkbox, such as the
Complete field, also causes the record to exit edit mode.
