Outlook Tasks displayed in Calender
It's sad that I had to spend $50 for Taskline's software but it gets the job
done. This is simple Microsoft... when you have a calendar, you place items on a calendar for a reason. Whether they are appointments or tasks a user should have the option to display either or, or both on the calendar. I understand I can see the tasks at the bottom in a weekly calendar in outlook 2007, but here I am mainly talking about viewing a full month. Anyhow, Taskline's software does the job where Microsoft failed to do a simple task... "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: I did not say they were all in one item, I said that Outlook 2007 offers a unified "Display" of these items so you do not need to keep switching between folder views. THere is nothing on the horizon to integrate Tasks and calendar since they are different types of Outlook items.

Outlook Tasks displayed in Calender
As stated before, task items and appointment items are completely different types of Outlook forms. They belong in their own folder type. You can drag a task to the calendar, or drag an appointment item to the tasks folder.
What Mr. Sinclair offers with Taskline is a third very useful option. Microsoft cannot do everything and leaves some items for third party developers, for which the 3rd party developers, and their families, are very grateful. Besides , how much anti-trust trouble do you expect Microsoft to court? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Outlook Tasks displayed in Calender
Yes they are different but it would be nice to simply select what you would
like on the calendar instead of dragging everything. I mainly use the tasks to let me know when bills are due. I place all the bills in the tasks and have it setup to do a re-incurring cycle. When I pay the bill, I mark the task complete and move on. So as you can see, it is important to me to see a complete month at a time with all the tasks. Maybe you can tell me, does Microsoft's money integrate with outlook and its calendar function? I can understand Microsoft not wanting to step on toes but I am trying to simplify what I do on the computer. I dislike having to open three programs to accomplish one task such as paying bills. Why three programs? I use Quicken to keep track of financial records, an excel spreadsheet to keep track of utilization on credit cards and outlook for when bills are due. With Quicken I can keep track of the bills due on their month view calendar but since I use outlook for everything else, it’s just nice to have one program open to view what I need to view for the day. I apologize for yesterday's post and the tone of it. It's just frustrating the amount of time a person can waste in wanting to achieve something. I hope in the future the abilities of being able to link data from one program to another becomes easier. Now if I can only get my spreadsheet into outlook… lol… "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: As stated before, task items and appointment items are completely different types of Outlook forms.

Outlook Tasks displayed in Calender
I tend to use Quicken for my financials (they have a great calendar for scheduling payments, etc.) and not Money but I don't believe Money will integrate with Outlook. I am not aware of any financial package that does but your favorite search engine would probably be the best place to start looking for such a program.
