| This isn't an addition though; if anything, it's a subtraction LOL!
| It's not a "new feature" as it is definitely possible in 2003 and
| previous versions; if you select next Friday on the Calendar, you can
| see next Friday's appointments and, along side it in the taskpad, you
| can see next Friday's tasks only (based on the start date and due
| dates). This is really the most effective way to view your objectives
| for the day.
|
| Is there anything else we can do here to get it back Roady? Sorry; do
| you work for Microsoft - I can't tell from your info.

|||||| ||||||| The "Daily Task List" shows by selected day , but does not
||||||| group by categories
|||||||
||||||| the"To-Do-Bar" groups by categories, but does not show by
||||||| selected day
|||||||
||||||| In 2003 I the "Task Pad View" showed by selectedday and could be
||||||| grouped
||||||| by
||||||| category. How can I get the "To-Do-Bar" to show only selected
||||||| days, because I
||||||| understand from you that I caanot group the "Daily Task List".
|||||||
||||||| Thanks

|||||||| Yes, that helps. In Outlook 2007 by default you'll see the
|||||||| Daily Task
|||||||| List
|||||||| in Calendar. This shows the task that are due or starting
|||||||| (option, default
|||||||| is Due) on that specific day. This is pretty much what you had
|||||||| in Outlook
|||||||| 2003, right?

|||||||| ||||||||| Sorry if I didn't explain properly
|||||||||
||||||||| In the to do bar I group task by categories- I can filter for

||||||||| task
||||||||| (or completed etc). What I really need (because I have used so
||||||||| much in
||||||||| 2003)
||||||||| is to click on a future date and then see the tasks which are
||||||||| dated
||||||||| (start
||||||||| date) for that day - in Outlook 2003 this functionality was
||||||||| available
||||||||| in
||||||||| the
||||||||| taskpad view " active tasks for selected days", which was an
||||||||| extrmely
||||||||| useful
||||||||| and for me important funcionality.
|||||||||
||||||||| Hope this helps to understand me
