Day/Week/Month view with Autopreview
 

Using Outlook 2003 SP3 and XP home and I'm trying to decide on the most
suitable Calendar view for my needs - I quite like this one: Day/Week/Month
view with Autopreview, but it doesn't actually display any of my active Tasks
in the Tasks part of the window, and the selection of 'events/appointments'
it displays seems odd, too - what dictates which events/appointments appear
in that part of the window? - they don't seem to conform to any pattern and
some of them are over a year away, or several years into the future. Thanks
in advance for suggestions and advice.

Did you click View and check "Taskpad"? Tasks on Outlook 2003 don't appear
in the calendar. They're not appointments or meetings.

Brian - thanks for quick response. Sure did, the Taskpad 'sub-pane' is
there, as part of the default 'Day/Week/Month view with Autopreview' Calendar
view, in the lower right-hand part of the view but none of my Tasks appear
there. Also, I tried filtering the view on 'Events/Appointments' but then
all the events disappeared from the view, and it doesn't show me ones coming
up this week, even though I filtered on that. I must be doing something
wrong, but what? I thought I was resonably savvy with Outlook but this
Calendar view thing has so far eluded me...

Just looked at the TaskPad WITHIN the Calendar view, and the filter is set to
this in the SQL tab (it's Greek to me):

("DAV:isfolder" = false AND "DAV:ishidden" = false) AND
(("http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/extensionattribute3" = '' AND
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/811c000b" = 0))

I just deleted that SQL query and replaced it with a simpler one of my own so
that only incomplete Tasks are shown, and that now works okay. Still having
trouble getting the next 7 days appointments and events to display, though.
