Connect to Outlook a Task list that has Tasks with Multiple users assigned

Question
-
Using MOSS 2007 SP2 and Outlook 2007 SP2
I go to a task list that has multiple users assigned to a task.
I setup the connect to outlook for this list, and in outlook I only see the tasks that have a single user assigned.
None of the multiple user assigned tasks are visable, is this how it is supposed to work?

Hi,
This is by design with Outlook 2007. Outlook cannot sync tasks assigned to multiple people.
For more information you can refer to :

Hi,
I have tried what you do and the results are the same to you . You can divide the tasks into several tasks and assign each task individually .
For more information about tasks please refer to the site:
Create and track assigned tasks: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/create-and-track-assigned-tasks-HA001229368.aspx
If you have any more questions ,please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I am sure it does the same for you, it does this on all 4 farms wwe have.
My qusetion is is this the way it is supposed only show the tasks that are assinged to a single person and not those assigned to multiple people?
I am being told to fix this and every thing I try does nothing.
The link you provided was for Outlook, is there similar information for SharePoint 2007 and tasks showing up in Outlook?
