Send a Task to Someone

You're probably starting to get the idea that just about any record on your Treo can be sent to another device with little effort. Chapter 5, "Managing Treo Contacts," showed you how to send contacts using any of several delivery mechanisms, and "Send an Event to Someone" earlier in this chapter explained how to send events. You might have caught on at the time that the process of sending an event is identical to that of sending a contact. The same process applies to sending tasks. For this reason, I'll spare you the details of a play-by-play description of sending tasks.

TIP

You can easily purge old tasks by using the Purge command on the Record menu. Purging tasks is identical to purging events, which you learned how to do earlier in the chapter. If you elect to purge any tasks, make certain you want to purge the tasks in question before going through with the purge operation.

All you need to know about sending tasks is that sending is carried out via the Send Task and Beam Task commands available on the Record menu. There are also Send Category and Beam Category commands for sending an entire category of tasks at once. If you don't quite remember how these commands work for other PIM data types, check out the "Send an Event to Someone" section earlier in this chapter or "Send and Receive Contacts Wirelessly" in Chapter 5.
