I select the Calendar function. Am using the 7Day
option. The ToDo list shows up on the right side of the
screen. Everything looks great. I can enter Tasks and
Categories, but for some reason I cannot type any
information into any of the other fields (such as Notes,
Custom fields, etc). What possible reason could there be
for this? It makes the ToDo list unuseable...

Thanks for any help!

Steve

Try the following: Right-click on the column headers (i.e. where it
says TaskPad), select Customize Current View, click the Other Settings
button, and in the Rows section, check the box for "Allow in-cell
editing".

OK, I see what you mean. It doesn't appear that you can edit the Notes
field directly in the TaskPad view. But you can double-click a given
Task and bring up the regular Task form, and edit the notes field there,
and whatever you type will show in the Notes field in the TaskPad (at
least as much as will fit in the space).

Thanks, this seems like a bug to me, but at least you're
seeing the same thing so I won't hold out hope for a fix
for now. Appreciate the help!
