How do CREATED terminating events link to task?

[Breslavets Sergey]

Hi Mike, 
I'm sorry i might've confuse you specifically mentioning the 'CREATED' event. In fact, the linkage is created for whatever event you have defined as the terminating event for the task.

Thanks Sergey and Jocelyn, 

That makes perfect sense - I dug around the code for SW..._FOR_UPDATE and can
see how it all fits together. However being a bit of a custom tweak does still
mean that the application has to specifically make provision for it - in other
words it won't work for a zChanged event triggered off a change doc. 
At least I am happy to rely on it - the question came up because I have a
process where it's critical that the document is created from the task.

I might have consulted the Bible (and will do so tomorrow), unfortunately my
copy is currently 2500km away where it is of absolutely no use to me
whatsoever, even at the speed of an unladen swallow.

Cheers
Mike
