Hi, I am new to Outlook, about 2 weeks now.

I entered all my tasks, most of which repeat on a weekly/biweekly/monthly
basis, making sure that I noted each went through EOY.

I noticed the other day when I was in my calendar view in July, I didn't see
any tasks listed. Sure enough, after mid-June, I didn't see any tasks. I
thought I'd done something wrong, but when I looked into it more, the tasks
are all marked completed.

For example, I had a task to send out notices to update reports on the 15th
of the month. Back on May 15th, I sent out the message and marked the task
complete. Somehow, they are all marked complete. I normally just
right-click on the task and say"mark complete". Should I be doing this
another way? Do I have to re-enter everything?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Maria :)
 
the next task is only regenerated after you mark the previous one complete.

Tasks are in the Tasks folder, not in the Calendar folder.
 
Hi Diane,

When you say regenerated, you mean that it will only show up in my calendar
view once the previous is marked complete? What if I deleted one - would the
next one show up as well?

Thanx!

I just got Office 2007.

I have my calendar view set up so that I see my tasks for the day listed on
the bottom. That is the easiest view for me to keep things straight.

Correct. Until the first task is complete, the next won't exist. you can
delete the old ones as long you don't delete the uncompleted one, it will
not affect future events.
 
OK, one more question....what if I deleted a task without marking it complete
first? Does that affect future ones?

Sorry for all the questions, but thank you very much for all your help!

Yes, that deletes future tasks.
