Tasks marked done mysteriosly show up as not-started

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Please check if that task is a recurrenced one (Task Recurrence...), in
which case, a new task is created everytime it is marked as complete.

I’ve seen two sources for this problem.



1. Syncing to two computers: (with ActiveSync up not to sync completed
tasks). When a task is marked complete on one computer, the next sync
removes it from the PDA. Then during the next sync to the second computer,
the uncompleted copy of the task on the second computer gets added to the
PDA. Changing ActiveSync settings to sync completed tasks helps.



2. Deleting completed tasks. Sometimes the next sync restores them from
which ever device still has a copy.
