Using Excel as source for your Outlook task list

Sometimes I keep my to do list in Outlook and sometimes on paper. Had a quick look at Excel, but didn't like it because I need to synchronise manually with Outlook.

I saw a couple of commercial products for sale as well as some free ware.


Anybody using Excel for maintaining their task lists? What's your experience?

I experimented with it and exporting and importing from and to Outlook works fine.

What I did notice though is that when you export recurring tasks to Excel and import them back into Outlook all occurrences are listed separately.

Does anybody have some macro code to automate the synchronisation between Outlook and Excel (2 way). Ideally one would have a button in both programs.

Also scheduled sync would be great.
 
I would leave it to Outlook, it has much better tools for managing tasks than Excel. Especially the recurring tasks, as you have already seen.
