Task view with no due date?

[Robert Floyd]

I'd like to create a view of tasks that haven't been assigned due dates yet
(so I can assign them). It would be nice to have a view to show only these
tasks, but I can't seem to find a combination that will select them. Any
hints?

TIA,

Go to Tasks List.

File->New->Custom View:

Item Types: ˆ Task (only)

Match: UNLESS ANY criteria are

<Due Date> <is less than> <10000 > days from now
<Is complete>

usually works. (Or you can just View-->Incomplete tasks in the Tasks list,
and sort by Due Date, then just look at the tasks grouped at the bottom.)

Thanks for the tip: that worked perfectly.
