I've had to reinstall Outlook, and it seems to have erased all my tasks--it's
certainly not showing them. I use this feature to keep track of my ministry
activities--phone calls, mileage, hours spent doing community outreach, etc.
HELP! I need these records desperately! I have four months of records in
there somewhere, and I have to find them! Have I lost them forever?

Search for all .pst files on your computer (turn on searching hidden files)
and when you find each one, open it in Outlook using File-Open-Outlook
Data File.

Thank you, Milly. I've since done a system restore and found all my tasks.
WHEW! But Outlook is misbehaving again. I think what I need to do is try to
debug Outlook. First though, how do I save my tasks so that I don't lose them
again? Archive?
