task list not working in to do bar

[Louie]

The to do bar displays the calendar and the appointments but for the Tasks it
displays an error message, "The operation failed. An Object could not be
found."
I have upgraded from office 2000 to 2007.

I get the same thing from when I upgraded from 2003 to 2007! Help.
Diagnostics says all is well. But it isn't.

Louie/Harry,

Ditto here. This feature worked well in 2003 version but I have not been
successful in getting tasks to appear in the to-do list of the calendar
section. I will keep trying, let me know if you have any revelations.

Louie,

Try this. Click on file, click on data file management. You will see that
you have 2 pst files. One should be marked default, delete the other
duplicate pst file. Restart outlook and you shold have a functioning tasks
list in the to do bar.

handydc, that's a good tip.
I tried Roady's tip first, no change, then after deleting the duplicate PST
file, the "To Do" bar tasks still wouldn't work.
Then I did your tip, no change. After I did your tip, I also did Roady's tip
again of: Start-> Run; outlook.exe /resettodobar

....and both together did the trick.
It's all working now.
