MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2007viewing to-do list items for a future date
In Outlook 2003 when I clicked on a date in the calendar above the to-do list, the calendar pane jumped to that date, showing apointments for that date, as did the to-do list update to show item due on that date. Outlook 2007 does not change the to-do list so I cannot see what my assigned load is for that day. yes, I can view the entire to-do list, but to view just items assigned to a specific date is very handy. Anything I can adjust? Unfortunately, the "Active Tasks for Selected Days" view that existed in the TaskPad in Outlook 2003 and earlier does not exist in the new Outlook 2007 ToDo Bar. You might be able to create a custom view that does something close to what you want, but I can't tell you any exact settings to use...you'd have to do it by trial and error.

Anything I can adjust? Ouch... I used that a lot (maybe says something about my ability to complete task on schedule :o) From Custom View I used the advanced tab in the filter setting and am close... I can get it to show due dates on or before xxx... xxx being today, tomorrow, or ???... it is not a drop down box so I have to know the value... and I do not know if there is a value for "selected date", or "selected day", or "select date", etc... I did find out that "day" is treated the same as "tomorrow", showing tasks due through tomorrow. Anyway, thank you for the info, at least I know not to look elsewhere for settings. Is there a forum to request the function be put back?

Anything I can adjust? On the Advanced tab, you would choose Due Date as the field, and then "today" is in the Condition dropdown box. You wouldn't need to enter a value. If you access this group through the Office website at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx, when you click the down arrow next to the New button, you will see an option for "Suggestion to Microsoft". You can use that to suggest they bring back Active Tasks for Selected Days. You are not the only one who misses it!

Anything I can adjust? Thank you, suggestion made at discussion group. The filter solution you suggested ("due date" > "today") works great, but doesn't show past due tasks. I found "due date" > "on or before" > "today" shows tasks due today and tasks past due (just in-case). If there were a variable to replace "today" that pinged on the selected date, my issue would be solved.

If you group the ToDo Bar's task list by "Arranged by due date", though, the "Today" group should show any task due "today" plus any task that is past its due date but not completed...but it won't jump to the date you select on the calendar.
