Customizing scheduling tasks

When a task is dragged to the calendar, an appointment with the same subject
is generated, and many of the task details are included.

I want to run code before the appointment is generated, but I'm having a
dificult time finding the event. The addItem event does not occurr until the
appointment is saved. The newInspector event is triggered but that is after
the details of the appointment are filled in. I could make do with this but
it seems a bad place for it since the event is triggered anytime an Outlook
item is opened. Also, I can't seem to check to see what type of item the
inspector contains.

Any ideas?

NewInspector.CurrentItem.Class will give you the type of item. You've
already figured out the event situation.
