Task List Sync

I'm trying OLW for the first time and am having a problem with the task list from a workspace.  Whenever I attempt to "Connect to Client" so it will sync with my Outlook, I get the message "Outlook can't add the requested Windows SharePoint Services folder.  Contact the Windows SharePoint Services site administrator." 

 The contact list I made is working just fine, but I can't seem to get the task list to work.  I am using XP with Office 2003.

 

Thanks.

Re: Task List Sync

 Today the problem is even worse as the Icon to connect to Outlook does not display. It would be great to have this issue resolved. Cheers!!

Re: Task List Sync

same problem here. It works for the Event List but it doesn't work when I tried to add the Task List. I use Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003. Anybody has any idea? Thanks.

Re: Task List Sync

Hi Trooper,

Sorry you're running into this problem!  Have you contacted support at all for this issue, or is this the firs time you've run into it? Any background info you can give will help.

Re: Task List Sync

No. I didn't think I would have support from anybody other than the community. I just started using the Workspace yesterday and yes, this is the first time I have run into this problem. I am not sure what background information you need but here is what I have.

-- Windows XP SP2

-- Outlook 2003 SP3

-- As soon as I click "Connect to Outlook" from the To-Do List page, I get this error: "Outlook can't add the requested Windows Sharepoint Services folder. Contact the Windows Sharepoint Services site administrator."

-- However, I can connect the Contacts and Event List to Outlook with no problem. and I can edit and save Word or Excel documents from the original program back to Workspace without any problem either.

Let me know if there are anything else I can provide for troubleshooting. Thank you.

 

-- Edited on 10/31

-- I just tried this on a Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 machine and it worked. So it must have something to do with Office 2003 or XP.
