Is there a way to show dependencies between tasks?

Is there any way to get Outlook to quit changing which To-Do list it uses in the To-Do Bar?

I use a separate view of the Task List for each client I am working for. (This makes my status reports at the end of the week a snap.) I have one overall listing grouped by client and sorted by task ID that I specifically created to show on the to-do bar and this is what I (want to) print on the print-out of the calendar page I use to make notes on what I do each day for time reporting. The problem is that the list occasionally changes to some other list from my available views and I have no idea what the problem is. All-of-the-sudden, the view will change and if I go to "Customize Current View" it becomes apparent that the system has changed the view entirely. Instead of the To-Do view, I will have one of the client views.

The only fix for this that I have discovered is to delete the "To-Do" view, customise the client view that is being used, and then rename it to "To-Do" Finally, I have to re-create the view that I had to customize under the client's name for the client that was on the view that Outlook chose to use as the view for the To-Do bar.

Is there some way to tell the program what view I want it to use? This work-around, while it works, it a bit of a hassle!

Thanks!

Is there any way I can show the items from an internet calendar in the to-do bar? I really like the overlaid view in the calendar. It would have been nice if I can see the same entries in the to-do bar as well.

My outlook To-Do bar setting seems to be very delicate. I used to have the tasks show up as Today, Tomorrow, This Week, and Next Week. I tried to change the Sort by setting and now I cant get back the Relative sorting, but am getting hard dates (April 14th, April 15th, etc). Can you help!

I have just had a microsoft exchange account added for work and now the todo bar shows my exchange calendar instead of my personal calendar. How do I change the todo bar settings so that it always shows my personal calendar.

I would like to filter tasks so they will show on the to do bar if the start date is on or before the date I select on the To-Do Bar calendar. I am almost able to make it work by creating Advanced Filter "Start Date on or before Today", but that does not show tasks that are to start on a future date when that date is selected on the calendar. Also there appears to be no way to see what acceptable values are for the condition specified.

Also, would like to click on a future day in the To Do Bar calendar, and NOT jump to the Calendar view (replacing my mail view), but have the events for that day (and forward) on the To-Do Bar. (Another annoying behavior). Thanks

My To-Do Bar shows 4 PAST MEETINGS at the top of the list. Two were two days ago, and Two were yesterday. I only want to see today and forward scheduled items!

Is there a way to see "All Day Events" in the TO-DO bar? I like everything else about it.

ALL DAY EVENTS, can they be shown? Any chance we can get a separator between calendar items for today, tomorrow, etc?
