<DIV>Jocelyn,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The doco on ad hoc agent assignment says only the WF initiators can choose
the ad hoc agent while starting a workflow or during the flow for
the WFs started by them from their outbox (for those steps that
have been identified for ad hoc assignment). On the other hand the Choose Agent
wizard inserts a dialog step which allows its agent (not necessarily the
initiator) to choose agents for a subsequent step from the task's possible
agents. Is it possible to achieve the later with ad hoc agent assignment? </DIV>

<DIV>Can anybody confirm that the Include "Choose Agent" wizard is not
