I am currently testing the Outlook sync function with a view to sending
data to my Palm, and have a question regarding how due dates are
treated. If I assign a due date to an item (start and due date the
same) in MLO, and that date is greater than today, the task will not
appear in Outlook until the date its due. If I search on the task text
in Outlook I cannot find it. Does that mean when I sync the tasks
down to the Palm I will not be able to see it there either? It seems
normal that one would want to see tasks that are upcoming. Is there a
setting that I can alter that will allow me to see these tasks in
Outlook? Or is the only solution to assign a start date that is ahead
of the due date. ( Not a feature I use a lot).
regards,
Phil.
As a side note, there have also been requests from time to time to have
MLO tasks synced into the Outlook Calendar, to appear alongside
appointments. Personally, I would not want my Appoinment Calendar to
be cluttered up with tasks. I suggest that my practice of creating an
additional Outlook Calendar View only for tasks is preferable.
I also strongly support Daniel's idea of getting rid of the "Set due
date" checkbox -
and just have a "None" option in the date picker for both start and due
dates.
