Create a task with past date not showing in calendar view outlook
Hello all. When I create a new task in Outlook 2007 and set both the Start
Date and Due Date to a past date (say, yesterday), and then I go to the calendar view / week view, in the Tasks panel I see my newly created task, but rather than in the yesterday day I see it on the day it was created (today). If rather than selecting a past date, I use a future date (say, tomorrow), then the calendar view shows the tasks properly. Am I missing something here? Or is this a bug? I hope this is not a "feature", since what would happen if I have to report a task that I did yesterday, but since I was away from my office all day long, I didn't have the chance to pre-create the task. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

"Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: The taskpad shows all tasks due today as well as past due tasks on 'today' Hi Diane, thanks for your reply. I've uploaded a picture to explain better myself. http://tinyurl.com/yg5booj As you can see, both the task's Start Date and Due Date are set to 26/10/2009, however in the calendar view the task is displayed on 28/10/2009. This only happens with past dates. Also, if I create a task and set its dates for today, tomorrow it will display the task properly, in the date it was created (as you can see in the picture). Is this a feature?

Correct. If the task is overdue (as it would be if due on the 26th and today
is the 28th) they will show 'today'. If you don't complete the task today (by marking it complete), it will move to Tomorrow... and the next day... and the next day, until you mark it complete. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Do you keep Outlook open 24/7?

But the thing is that the task wasn't overdue, since it was finished on 26th. The only thing is that I'm only reporting it until 28th (because there wasn't a computer available at the time). Isn't this scenario supported by Outlook? Thanks again, cheers. |

Did you mark it complete? That's how outlook knows the task is finished.
