How do I search for "No date" flagged messages?

[Sean S]

Hi all,

In my infinte wisdom I've upgraded to Office 2007 (generally known as a 'bad
move').

In their infinite wisdom M$ have made the "Today" flag (most important) the
same color as the "No date" flag (least important).

I want to switch all my "No date" flags to "Next week" flags so I need a
criteria to search through all folders, returning only "No date" flagged
items.

I'd use the view window but the stinking thing doesn't sort by flag type
when I sort on that column.


Sean.

simple... add the due date field to the view and sort by it. all items that
are not flagged will also be under None, but you can easily scroll through
and change the flags. you'll need to right click to change - setting the
default to next week and double clicking won't work.

That almost works. Only it mixes 'Completed', 'No date' and unflagged items.

We're talking hundreds of items. They needed to be in a single selectable
block.

Regardless, I've now abandoned flags as a way of tracking priority as it
appears to set the item to a specific date. Too bad this renders the to-do
bar useless.

then create a filter to only show uncompleted items. or flagged items... you
can do a lot with views, if you take the time to play with it and
experiment.
