MOSS 2007 Tasks disappearing

I have a workflow in MOSS 2007 created with SP Designer. As the workflow passes each stage a number of tasks are created & stored in a standard task list.

I really need to keep the tasks (currently about 1200) as an audit trail of who did what for the workflow but a large number of them have dissappeared. Only a few people have access to delete the tasks & they all say they didnt, recycle bins were empty. I also have an alert set up to e-mail me if anything is deleted & I have never had an e-mail but tasks are missing. Views are set to show all & there are no info management policys set to auto delete anything.

Is there any way that they could be hidden somehow? I cant find any reason why they are not showing or how they were deleted.

You are right, it should not be deleted automatically.

One way is to -
Prevent Workflow Tasks From Being Deleted : http://fredmorrison.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/prevent-workflow-tasks-from-being-deleted/

let me know if that helps or not.

Thanks,

Thankyou very much for that. I stiull cant quite believe that Microsoft would have that function & not make sure everyone knew about it & where the workflow history tables are.

I disabled the cleanup function for now until I can find a better way around the issue.
