OL98: Views Differ Between Task Folder and TaskPad

ID: Q181340

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 98

SYMPTOMS

Changes made to views of tasks in the Task folder do not affect views of tasks in the TaskPad of the Calendar folder.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. Views of tasks in the Task folder are independent of views of tasks in the Calendar TaskPad. This allows for different views of task data, depending on the current display.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Task folder, you can change existing views, add new selectable views, or define filters to limit the records displayed. In the TaskPad of the Calendar folder, you can select predefined views and change the attributes of an existing view, but you cannot add a new view.

View Control in the Task Folder

To change an existing view in the Task folder, point to Current View on the View menu, and click Customize Current View. This allows you to change certain visual aspects of the current view, such as grouping, sorting, fonts, and other formatting.

To add a new view to the Task folder, point to Current View on the View menu, and click Define Views. This allows you to define and save a new view that is selectable.

View Control in the Calendar TaskPad

To select the current view of the TaskPad, point to TaskPad View on the View menu and click to select one of the predefined views.

To make more significant changes to the current view, right-click the TaskPad header, and then click Customize Current View.
