Calendar Taskpad

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to configure the taskpad on the calendar in the
following way: I want tasks to appear on the day they are scheduled to
start, to remain until I check them off, and to stay on the date I checked
them off. For example, if I look at a day in the future, I want to see only
the tasks scheduled for that day (as well as the ones not yet completed), and
if I look at a day in the past, I want to see only the tasks I completed that
day.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Here's as close as you can get to what you want:

Firstly, use the Start date for all Tasks as the day you want the Task to
appear on your list of things to do (TaskPad).

Set the view this way - View | TaskPad View | Active Tasks for Selected
Days. That will make Tasks appear on the day they are set to Start. So if
you want to call me in 3 weeks, you make a Task with a start date 3 weeks
from today. Each day you turn Outlook on, you'll have today's meetings in
the Calendar and the Tasks beside them in the TaskPad.

I also set the TaskPad to group by Complete, then by Priority. Show the
Categories, Owner columns etc in the TaskPad and you have a great way of
managing your work.

As far as seeing Tasks competed on certain days, you'll need to use the
Tasks folder and set up a view there. The TaskPad is a subset of Tasks that
are date sensitive and it doesn't hold history the way you've described it -
it's designed to help you plan what needs to be done each day.

Thank you so much for your assistance, but now the person I am assisting says
it is not working because everytime he completes a task it is deleted from
his taskpad, but when I do it from my PC my task stay on the taskpad. Can
you tell me how to keep his from disappearing when completed. Thanks
