I was wondering if I can set up my Outlook to automatically imput task start
dates and dealines into my calendar, so that when I veiw my calendar, my
tasks will show up on their assigned dates.

Is this possible to do in Outlook? If it's not, it should be.

You can show the relevant Tasks each day by changing the TaskPad settings.
In 1 day view of the Calendar, use the setting - View TaskPad view | Active
Tasks for Selected Days. Now when you use Start Date, the Tasks will appear
on their Start day and go RED the day after the Due date.

That's the best you can do in native Outlook.

Can you elaborate a bit more here? I am using Outlook 2003 SP1 and I would
really like my due dates to appear in my monthly calender. I don't care at
all about start dates. I use the monthly view of the calender exclusively.

If its not possible, is there a 3rd party program that can make this happen?

Or is it planned at all?

Thanks !
