1269342 2012-04-11 05:51:00 I use Outlook 2007 extensively . In the Tasks Menu I have a number of Recurring Tasks with differing frequencies .
Outlook has a Standard View Called " Next Seven Days" .

I have tried to modify this view by copying it and renaming it Next Five Days and "playing around with various parameters .
None works that I have tried .

My reason for wanting a 5 Day View is that under the 7 Days View when I mark as complete a Recurring Task it immediately reappears with the next date of recurrence (ie in 7 days time) .

I would like the "moral" satisfaction of having the Recurring Task disappear (as at date of completion) - the "sense of accomplishment" .
It would then reappear 2 days later as due within the next 5 days .

The filter area with TASKS does not permit the alterations I need .

Does anyone know how to create a working Next Five Days View .
?

3716

Then from there, Follow the lines :

3717

Outlook 2010 was built from Outlook 2007, so the settings should be there someplace:2cents:

1269344 2012-04-12 03:09:00 Thanks for your suggestion but I had previously tried that. Where the Filter shows Next 7 days seems to be a fixed range of choices.
I also tried going into the SQL Tab in the Filter section and overwrote the 7 in the script with 5.
The error message appeared "Error parsing SQL Script"
I had even tried to insert text such as -2 days in various date sectors such as On or before but no luck.
I wonder if some of the Date filter options are "hard coded"
