MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / May 2008Marking one occurrence of a recurring task as complete
Hi, I am new to Outlook, about 2 weeks now. I entered all my tasks, most of which repeat on a weekly/biweekly/monthly basis, making sure that I noted each went through EOY. I noticed the other day when I was in my calendar view in July, I didn't see any tasks listed. Sure enough, after mid-June, I didn't see any tasks. I thought I'd done something wrong, but when I looked into it more, the tasks are all marked completed. For example, I had a task to send out notices to update reports on the 15th of the month. Back on May 15th, I sent out the message and marked the task complete. Somehow, they are all marked complete. I normally just right-click on the task and say"mark complete". Should I be doing this another way? Do I have to re-enter everything? Any help would be really appreciated. Maria :) the next task is only regenerated after you mark the previous one complete.

What if I deleted one - would the next one show up as well? Thanx! Maria :) > the next task is only regenerated after you mark the previous one complete. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > > > Maria :) Correct. Until the first task is complete, the next won't exist. you can delete the old ones as long you don't delete the uncompleted one, it will not affect future events.

Does that affect future ones? Sorry for all the questions, but thank you very much for all your help! Maria :) > Correct.

I have my calendar view set up so that I see my tasks for the day listed on the bottom. That is the easiest view for me to keep things straight.
