Outlook Tasks versus To-Do list

"four windows on opening, namely calendar, inbox, tasks and notes using code I found on the internet."

Can you share where you get the code?

I honestly am not sure where I got it from but can share the code.

The default view for Tasks should automatically be ToDoList ...no?
On another note, you may notice that having all of those windows open daily tends to slow down your Outlook experience

Thanks, Karen.  I can see where you are coming from.
The default folder is 'Tasks' so every time I open Outlook I have another click to get to the To-Do List.  Hardly life or death, but my OCD has kicked in and I want to find a solution!

Hmm, that is weird. If you just click on the Tasks Workspace, there are two folders: To Do List and Tasks . To do list shows all items flagged in email as well as any tasks you have created, but Tasks shows only self-created Tasks. The default view is the To-do list folder. I wonder if you need to navigate to Tasks and choose View>Reset View ?

Tell me more...

Initially, the reset view is greyed out.  If I change the view on the tasks folder to "To-Do List" it applies a pre-set view (which I could amend) but it doesn't go to the To-Do List folder and therefore flagged emails aren't showing.
Appreciate your advice though!  Happy to try whatever.

Which version of outlook, check the vba as you may set the behavior there.

Commonly, when. I use code found/derived from an online source, I include the location/source reference as a comment.

Posting the code here would require attribution to the source.

Commonly, doing a search for a pattern within the code might locate the source.

Thanks, Arnold.

I'm using Outlook 2016.  Your tip has helped me locate the code at:



I've found code from the same source that selects the To-Do List folder when switching to it, but not what I need for when Outlook opens.

Hoping still for a solution!

Many thanks for taking the time to appease my OCD and save me several clicks a day.

Wonderfully simple solution very much appreciated.

Thank you.
