How can I prioritize tasks by number in Outlook 2007?
peturpin
not able to edit the field that was created when I changed the settings to
include a custom priority. I'm trying to put a number into it, so that I can
sort my tasks in a certain category by number, but I'm not able to.

Where in Outlook are you trying to view the Tasks? There are 3 places to see
Tasks.
If in the Task Folder, what View are you in? If in Tasks folder you
probably need to turn on in-line editing.

Custom Priority. If I add that field to my Tasks view (simple list),
a blnak column is added. It doesn't let me type in the field. I see
no way to build a custom priority list (as it's done with
categories). The context menu is unhelpful. How can I use this field?

In the Field Chooser, under All Task fields, there is a field called
Custom Priority. If I add that field to my Tasks view (simple list),
a blnak column is added. It doesn't let me type in the field. I see
no way to build a custom priority list (as it's done with
categories). The context menu is unhelpful. How can I use this
field?

I have not had a chance to research this but let me ask among my MVP peers
to see what they have to say about it.

Hey! What do your peers tell you?

After furious head scratching, I wonder why this thread died? Still
an issue.
jay.me...@gmail.com
on Jul 16. But it hasn't been resolved and the thread dried up. I'm
hoping that by reposting I can bring the issue to the forefront again.
Thanks all!

integer and one text, and I can type in both of them. The view I am using has
in-cell editing turned on. I would suggest that you try using the same
procedure -- create a new property to hold the data, rather than using the
Custom Priority field, which is probably reserved for Outlook's internal use.
