Setting Tasks to display withing Calendar view

[Mitchy]

I am trying to set a particular Task folder to display on the Show tasks pane
in Calendar view.

Scenario: I have created a seperate Outlook data file (pst) to create a
calendar to track special events or milestones. I do not want to clutter my
personal calendar with these items. Each event could have a task or two that
need to be completed that day. So in the new pst file I have created a new
calendar and task folder.

The trouble I am having is that when I view this new calendar the tasks that
display on the Task pane are the tasks from my default account. I want to
specify and particular task folder to be used for the Task pane for this
particular calendar. Is there a way to do this?

no. TaskPads always show the default store. I am guessing you have a TaskPad
showing in your Calendar and are using version 2002 or 2003? Your version
is a must when asking questions here.

Could you create the Calendar in your primary .pst file and then use the
TaskPad? You can filter the Tasks to only show those in a certain Category
(if you have some that aren't about this project).
