Outlook 2003 - set a task filter to show due in seven days or earl

[RobRSD]

I would like to define a task filter that would include active tasks due in
the next seven days or overdue. It seems to me that I should be able to
define two advanced rules to do the job:

Complete equals no
Due Date on or before Today + 7

However, this does not work. I thought I had the problem solved in earlier
versions of Outlook, I think using the SQL filter tab. However, my old
filter, imported from the older version, does not work. The current SQL is
so cryptic, I don't think I can figure it out on my own, and the Help is
worthless. I am not aware of third party books or papers that cover this,
and the only thread that I have found that comes close was on a similar need
in MS Project.

Any suggestions (including any docs that describe SQL in Outlook)?

TIA,

Rob

The "Next Seven Days" view doesn't work?

 

[RobRSD]

No - it shows only those whose due date is precisely in the next seven days.
It omits past-due tasks. I want to see any of those, too.

Did you find a solution to this issue? I am having the same problem.

Thanks,

Sorry, Scott - I have not. I am hoping that Brian or someone else will
answer this post.

Thanks for asking,

Rob
