How can I get TASKS to show up on my Outlook 2002 CALENDAR?

I can easily see meetings in my calendar, yet I can't seem to get tasks to
show up on my Outlook 2002 CALENDAR? Any advice on how to accomplish this?
It seems logical that this capability would exist... but it's not obvious.

Thank you. Michael...
 
You can drag the task to the calendar but tasks really belong in their own
folder. What do you want to accomplish by having the task in the calendar?

Milly, I'm aware that you can DRAG the tasks over to the calendar... but you
shouldn't have to do this, it should be an option so that it's not forgotten
or duplicated. If I set a task for a repeat cycle, just as I set repeat
meetings, why wouldn't I want this to show up on my calendar view? It makes
sense to reflect your activities on the calendar --- calls, meetings, tasks,
etc. If I just wanted to see tasks on the task list or folder... I wouldn't
have submitted the question of seeing tasks on the calendar --- which I view
more as a "means of presentation" than for defining activities. Can it be
done automatically is really the key question?

Thanks Milly. Michael...
 
No, the calendar will only display appointment items (ipm.appointment) by
default.
