I enter tasks - they sort and categorize nicely - now I want them to appear
automatically in the calendar - on the date they are due. How do i do this?

With Outlook versions prior to Outlook 2007, there's no way to do that.

If for this particular feature, I can't say yet.  I haven't experimented
enough with it to get a good feel of how helpful I find it.  Even in Outlook
2007, the tasks are not actually in the calendar.

On all versions except 2007 you can make the Tasks show in the TaskPad on
their Start Date and remain there until their Due date.  They'll go Red the
day after their Due Date.

That can work really well. It's called a Tickler or Resubmit system.

Here's how:

Show the TaskPad on the Calendar (version 2003, View TaskPad)
Now set the TaskPad View to Active Tasks for Selected Days - View | TaskPad
View ... etc.
When you make a Task, you can wipe a date range using the Start or Due date
button.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Judy, how do I get my followup items/dates to display in the calendar or task
list?
