 Dim myTasks As Outlook.Folder 
 
 Dim myNewTaskItem As Outlook.TaskItem 
 
 Dim mytaskrequpdateItem As Outlook.TaskRequestUpdateItem 
 
 Dim myItem As Outlook.TaskItem 
 
 
 
 Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
 
 Set myTasks = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) 
 
 Set mytaskrequdpateItem = myTasks.Items.Find("[Subject] = ""Meeting w/ Nate Sun""") 
 
 If Not TypeName(mytaskrequpdateItem) = "Nothing" Then 
 
 Set myNewTaskItem = mytaskrequpdateItem.GetAssociatedTask(True) 
 
 Set myItem = myNewTaskItem.Respond(olTaskAccept, True, True) 
 
 myItem.Send
