Default Using relative dates for automatic formatting of Tasks

Hi, I am trying to color-code my to-do list for easy reading. I have set up Automatic Formatting for coloring items due Today by doing Modify View - Automatic Formatting and setting a rule named "Due Today". The rule has the condition (using the Advanced Tab) of "Due Date Today". It works great. I can do the same thing for tomorrow.

What I *want* to do is to color items that are due in 2 days ("today+2 days"). I have tried to set the rule condition to "today+2", "@today+2d" and many other combinations. Some of them work, but only on the day that I enter them! The next time that I sign onto Outlook, I find that the date in the condition is hard-coded -- Outlook substituted "5/26/2004 12:00 am" into the the condition instead of the "today+2d" that I supplied.

I use Outlook 2002 (SP-2). Please help!!! To reply via email, remove the XYZ from my address.
