Greetings, [smile]

Great site!
Any help would really be appreciated for the following problem:
I am using Outlook 2003, running from Exchange server.
I have a task list and due to the nature of my work, I need to categorise my tasks.
My problem is two fold:
1. I have a large category list that contains key words...
I will select several of these key words, which then forms the whole category .i.e.:
the list has _DC, _BC , templates, Uniform

Now if I select _DC and then uniform and then templates

The categories are displayed (in the field box) like this: _DC,templates,Uniform (in a single line)

(I created these key works, instead of creating several instances of these categories in a single line of text resulting in a very large list)

When I sort via category it will display only the first category in the list:
I.e. _DC will display in a separate row header and templates will have a separate row header and Uniform will have a separate row header.

I want it to display the entire string of text for the multiple chosen categories and have a single row header i.e. _DC, templates, Uniform

2.
Is there a way like with e-mail folders to create search folders within the task list structure?

Any help would really be greatly appreciated [bigsmile]

kind regards
Triacona
