For those with the orange line issue. I had this problem after our ICT department moved my mailbox to another exchange environment.

I archived my old mailbox entirely, and afterwards deleted, and rebuilt my new account. That seemed to fix it. I assume you can also rebuilt an account on the same server.

Regards

This almost answers my questions as a new user to this version of outlook. I like seeing my appointments listed in the To-Do bar. I have 5 set as the default, but how do I set it up so it only shows me the appointments for “today” ???

Same questions as Greg, Muhammed & Claire: In version 2003 I could modify my taskpad so that only today’s tasks and overdue tasks would show up AND when I picked a future date in the date navigator, not only would my appointments change to reflect that date, but also my tasks.
-Select one day view
-View, Task Pad
-View, Active tasks for selected days

How is that accomplished in the 2007 version? So far I have only figured out how to filter my tasks on the to-do bar “In the next 7 days” but the tasks remain the same even when I click on a future week using the date navigator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I love this “just click on the ‘arranged by’ button” business. There is no “arranged by” or any other button visible in my task list, and I’ve tried all the very limited options I can find to display it. So, for me, this is about as useful as “if you want to go to Paris, simply step into the Magic Portal and click your heels.”

I have the same problem as Burham and have not been able to find a solution for it. It really takes away from the task/to do functions of Outlook when you can’t see them. Please help

Same questions as Greg and Muhammed – Active Tasks for Selected Days in 2007 – is there a way to do this in the To Do Bar? I wonder, is there a specific Value we could use in the filter (like Current Day or Selected day) which would accomplish this?

Also, I tried adding a condition to my Filters to show Completed Tasks for Today – but I must have missed something, because the 2 filters I have (Active Tasks for 5 days and Completed Tasks for Today) work against each other.

In Outlook 2003 I had my tasks in the TaskPad set to only show Active Tasks on Active Days, so that if I clicked to next Tuesday, I only saw next Tuesday’s tasks, and not the ones from today. Can that still be set in 2007?

This is a copy of a question asked by Greg ans Muhummed but have not seen a definitive solution as yet.
