when i assign a task in outlook under the tasks icon. why does it not show in my calendar as a task.?

Question

is there anyway of ensuring that all my tasks appear on each date in my calendar.

Answer 1

I think that is simply the way they work. If you want to have a item show in the calendar simply create a new item in the calendar as if it were a meeting.

Answer 2

Because it shows in the task pane instead.

It's the organization of the program, tasks are a to do list calendar is for appointments. If you want tasks to appear on the calendar, then you will have to enter them there. But If they are not an appointment, use the task pane instead.

If you want the tasks to show on the left toolbar and it's not currently, right click it, the left side toolbar, choose outlook toolbar, and select the tasks folder to add.
