I am using the Tasks portion of Outlook 98 set up in categories. For example I have a several Genealogy categories and then under each lined task under that category, I may have a lot of information. Here is a for instance: just one Category might be: A Genealogy Search Under that Category there might be several lines: One might be Dictionaries; one might be roootsweb URL's; one might be Language Dictionary, etc. Then IN each of those lines when you double click on it, there might be all of the rootsweb URL's that I have collected; All of the different Language Dictionaries that are of interest to me on line; and all of the other types of dictionaries that are of interest. I have 3 full pages at all times of this lined information. This is all usable by me. I don't use the Status, date due; % complete columns, etc. Besides all of my genealogy chores, I keep my shopping lists by town I go to shop in category, my daily chores by category, books I have to buy by category; books I want to check out at the library category; things I have to look up on search engines, etc. Many of these lines under the category heading have lots of information inside that do not show up when printed out. For instance, if I plan a trip to the library, I will go to Category, then to the particular library, then maybe to a particular book at the library and under that I will find what I have copied from the internet to be able to locate the book at the library. My genealogy URL's will print out to 14 pages. So there are some lines under categories that have inside them a lot of information. At best this program is really quirky. For no reason that I can see, it will enter every line twice and then I will have to delete all duplicates, only to find that maybe I've somehow lost a category somewhere. I'm leading up to this: I can't find a way to completely save this task portion part of the program. I am at the point, and have been for some time, that I'm just going to have to go to another program if I can't save it or back it up. I can't believe people in offices use this program without a way to back it up. (At one time, I did loose everything.) I can't afford it several months down the road now. I have looked at other programs, but find none that look as good as this. Although I know that I use only a portion of this program and the email function of this completely interferes with my IE5; sometimes I find an email I have been expecting over on the Outlook 98. Although this only happens occasionally. Does anyone know how to backup TASKS in its entirety. If someone wants to tackle this problem for me, I'll be glad to send an example of a small portion of what I'm doing. Thank you for reading down to this point. If you have, you are some trooper!
