Completed tasks won't show in Taskpad.

[rob1239]

When I choose the Taskpad View -> "Tasks completed on selected days", no
completed tasks show. They don't show under any other view either (at least
the views that are supposed to show a completed task). I can't for the life
of me figure this out. I want to be able to show both active & completed
tasks as I complete them throughout the day. Am I missing something simple
here? Thanks in advance for any advice...

Hi
Have you gone to TaskPad, Customise Current View and checked Filter? ... I
expect your filter may be hiding them.
I believe "Active Tasks for Selected Days" is the best view in Outlook 97 -
2003. Priority Management teaches some great strategies for Task Management
in its Working Smart with Microsoft Outlook program.

Thanks Michael. I can't seem to get to the "Customize current view" dialog
box for TaskPad. If I use the program menu bar, it'll customize the calendar
view rather than the taskpad view. If I right-click in TaskPad, it has
certain settings I can change but not the complete customization window most
views allow. Filtering isn't one of them. Am I missing another way to get
to the customization screen? That might do the trick!
