The agenda is your friend. You can have multiple files in the agenda all contributing to views of your todo lists in agenda views. C-c [ adds the current file to org-agenda-files so just visit multiple files you want in your agenda and C-c [ once in each. Now C-c a t will show all todos in all your files. C-c a a shows a calendar view (day/week). I navigate to things only from the agenda. You'll want log view in the agenda or something similar for status reporting. You can export agenda views but I've never done it :) HTH, Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
