I have vista outlook 2007. How do I get my task to rollover. I would like
them to rollover in my task view, and the ones that I drop and drag into my
calendar view.

Thank you.

What does "get the task to rollover" mean?

Ha! dont you teach your computer tricks? lol No, what I mean when I say
"rollover" is if you put a task on the calendar for a particular day and
don't check it completed, will it keep popping up on every day until you mark
it complete. I used to have another calendar program that did that.

Putting Tasks in the to do bar will do it.

Why do you need to put your tasks on the Calendar? Tasks already have dates
in them and can pop up reminders and flags.

If you want to have a task recur, set a recurrence and reminder on it and
then when the reminder pops up, right-click the task in the reminder window
and choose "Mark Complete". The reminder will be dismissed and a new task
will be regenerated for the next recurrence.
