If I create a Task item and then look at the Tasks in Table View (grouped by
Category), I sometimes find that the Group to which the new Task was
assigned is collapsed. I can expand that group, and all is fine, but if I
create another Task in another Category, that will sometimes cause that
group to collapse.

I haven't been able to figure out exactly when this happens, but it seems to
happen more often when I'm switching between Views. i.e, if I create a Task
while in one Table View (filtered for high priority items only) and then
switch to the other Table View (no filter), the new task is in a collapsed
group.

Anything I can do about this?

I'm using OL 2003, WinXP Pro SP2.

I have seen some strange collapsing behaviour many times. Try this:

Right click the column header of the Task table and selelct customise
current view. Bottom right corner are the expand/collapse settings. Set
to show all expanded. OK. Then do it again. No Really! DO THIS TWICE. It's a
bug that's been around for eons.

Thanks, Judy, but when I open "Customize Current View" I don't see any
settings for expand or collapse. I did find under Group By. I'll try what
you suggest and we'll see ...

/tw

sorry - left out one step - was rushing out the door to go do some paid work
and get there on time.
