Define view in a Task dashboard?

[Pariah Burke]

I've built a couple of Outlook digital dashboards in the past, but I'm
having trouble with my latest in Outlook 2003. Hopefully someone here
can help. Please forgive the cross-posting; I wasn't sure in which
group I'd find the most people familiar with digital dashboards.

In the past, the below code worked perfectly.

<OBJECT ID="Tasks" height=500 width=437
classid=CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046>
<PARAM NAME="Folder" VALUE="Tasks">
<PARAM NAME="View" VALUE="Simple List">
<PARAM NAME="Namespace" VALUE="MAPI">
<PARAM NAME="Restriction" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="DeferUpdate" VALUE="0">
</OBJECT>

Now, the View param malfunctions. If the View param is in the code,
the dashboard shows the Inbox rather than Tasks. If the View param is
removed, it shoes Tasks, but with the default Outlook view.

I need to show a dashboard with Tasks displayed in the Simple List
view, regardless of the user's Outlook Tasks folder view. Help?

Thanks,

Pariah

Known problem. Use script, not a parameter assignment to set the view. See

Sue:

Thanks.

I tried to follow your example at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=62, but with the below
code I still get only the inbox. I've tried changing the id to equal
"Tasks", but no dice. Can you help me adjust the object to show the
user's Tasks in Simple View?

<object classid="clsid:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046" width=268
height=437 id="ViewCtlFolder"
data="DATA:application/x-oleobject;BASE64,Y/AGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgACAADYEwAA2BMAAAgAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAgACgAAAE0AQQBQAEkAAAAJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAALAAAA"

</object>
