Taskpad view in Outlook 2003

[Lorri]

Hi - I am in Outlook 2003 and am setting up my calendar view with the
taskpad. However, even though I right click and select to show today's tasks
- it still ist all of them.
What am I doing rong? Help?

I have Outlook 2002 so not sure it's exactly the same but I think you need
to select "Active tasks for selected days" in order to show only those due
on a specific day.

Active Tasks for Selected days bases itself on the Start Date of the Tasks.
It's a view that works in line with good time management principles! And
hence my favourite.

Set Start and Due Dates for each Task (you wipe a date range on the little
drop down Calendar), Tasks will show up on the TaskPad on their Start Date
and go Red the day after their Due date.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

complaining.
