how to save a view in tasks

[BruceL]

Hi,

I use Outlook (2003, though I just yesterday loaded 2007) mainly for Tasks
and Contacts -- I don't run my calendar or my e-mail through it. My standard
"tasks" view is sorted by date, priority, and subject. Although I have the
view saved as a custom view, I find that if I've re-sorted for any reason
(looking for duplicate tasks, sorting by category, or just accidentally
hitting the button at the top of a column that forces a re-sort), the "saved"
view doesn't include the sort. I always thought it must be a bug or
something I was doing wrong in Outlook 2003, but now that it's happening in
Outlook 2007 as well, I figure there MUST be an answer out there somewhere
. How can I save a custom sort so that I can go back to it anytime I need
to? Thanks for any help.

try opening outlook using the cleanviews switch and try again.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it, then re-created the custom view.
Again, though, the custom sort didn't hold. Not a big deal, just trying to
figure out if I'm doing something stupid or missing something obvious.
