I am having a problem with Define Views in Tasks for Outlook 2003. I have
about a dozen that work by category. I had originally created one with all
the settings and the category that I wanted. I then copied it to make all
the others and changed the old category to the new one. This worked fine for
all of them until now. I have one cateory called System Admin. I'm creating
a new category called DM. I'm not copying the System Admin category but a
completely different one. I get the tasks from the DM category I want but I
also get the tasks from the System Admin category. The System Admin category
isn't checked on so why am I getting those tasks too?

Since I had trouble with it I also created a new defined view and I am still
getting the System Admin tasks. I have looked through every option for
creating a defined view to see what could be causing this with no luck. They
all look the same except for the category. Can anyone help as to why this
one view (System Admin category) out of 12 is part of my new view? It seems
to think it's some type of default that always gets included. Thanks in
advance.

Probably you have used the second tab on the filter dialog to set the
category. That means you filter for items that contain "dm". If you want to
filter for category = "dm", you need to do that on the third tab.

Thanks so much...that's exactly what I did. I thought since I used the
checkbox in the Category I was specifically filtering by the categories I
chose.
