Hi Eric:
Thanks for responding & for the link. You're right, however, it is a
daunting
task. I think what I need is an example of restoring a particular table
view
for tasks (not inbox) & then see if I'm bright enough to modify it. Do
you know
if that exists anywhere.

I appreciate your time,

If you have little VBA experience, this may be a daunting task for you.
Every MAPIFolder object has a Views collection, where you can get and
update
the View.XML property if you know how to edit the schema of the view, as

It's far easier to work with views in code with Outlook 2007.

Hi:
I have Outlook 2003. I've created a defined custom view for tasks, in
table
format, that:
1. Is grouped by Start Date
2. Sorted by Number (a user defined field)
3. Then sorted by Reminder time.

I frequently, accidentally, (clumsily) click a column heading, which
resorts
the view. Then I have to go back to Customize current view (which is
still
grouped by Start Date) hunt for the Number field (under user defined
fields)
to sort for it, then hunt for Reminder Time (which is under "All task
fields"), change the default sort option from descending to ascending,
&
OK
my way out of the dialog box.

I'm wondering if anyone has a macro that I could use to perform those
tasks. I have no experience in VBA.

Thank you in advance.
