I am having trouble getting some appointments to show up in the to-do-bar. I have said show 8 appointments in "options" and I am currently displaying 3. My next appointment is in February, but I cannot get it to display in the to-do-bar. Also "all-day" appointments do not show up. Any suggestions.

Thanks

I am more than happy to email you a screen shot of the AppointmentItem so you can see what it includes.

It'd be nice if you could provide the user with the option as to which appointments, including all day appointments, should be displayed. i just created a tool that allows our users to add to their Outlook Calendar Appointment Items for their various multi-day events. Each Calendar items includes links to relevant folders & URL's related to the events. If the To Do bar allowed the all day appointments to be displayed my users would be one click away from information relevant to their events. As it is they now have to click, click, click, click and click some more.

Please try to be a bit more broad in your thinking. Defaults are good, flexibility is better.

The problem with the to-do list is it does not work the way I think many people use a to-do list. It may work how some people work but certainly not me. Outlook also forces me to view the To-Do list first in preference to Tasks and As I prefer to use Tasks this is REALLY annoying!

My paper to-do list is not based on dates but on order. It's a brain-dump of things to do. Then I go down the list and mark each item with a number to show the order in which I intent to do work through the list.

Having a facility to drag to-do items into my preferred order would probably meet my need and I guess this would meet the needs of many others too.

I really, really like the To Do bar; it makes it very easy and convenient to keep track of things I need to do... with one slight exception:

Since it's become possible to keep track of recurring tasks within the Tasks area (instead of using recurring appointments, which is what I've always used before), my appointments area has become rather empty. Specifically, as I write this, I have one upcoming appointment... three weeks from now. What I want is for the appointments pane to show me that appointment, but not until three days before it happens. This way I get a good reminder that I will actually *notice* (instead of tuning it out after needing to ignore it for over a month), without the annoyance of using reminders.

So, basically, I'd like to be able to filter the "Appointments" section of the To Do bar, the same way I can filter the "Tasks" section... using something along the lines of, "between Today and Today+3."

Microsoft ... If your listening ... Please run, don't walk, to your development team and tell them their customers require multiple calendar and multi day / all day appointment visibility in the to-do bar. It's currently useless for sharepoint users as appointments in a shared calendar do not appear in the to-do bar. Are you freakin' kidding me?

My wish list for To-Do bar:

1. Right-clicking on a task would have an option to navigate to a folder that contains that task.

2. Ability to adjust it width to any width

3. Sorting. Currently adding additional sorting breaks "by Due Date" grouping 4. Default OOTB view would contain icon indicating origins of the task ( i.e. task, flagged email, linked onenote, etc)

5. Ability to remove flag column.

6. all day events Other then that, the current To-Do bar is great thing and huge improvement over Outlook 2003. Great job, thanks.

I am one to pile on about the absence of all-day/multi-day appointments in the to-do bar. I have so many of these in my calendar that the exclusion of these from the to-do bar makes it virtually useless to me. Please fix without forcing us to pay for it in the next version please.
