Just love how you're becoming an EXPERT in MLO Advanced Filtering ! :-) Yes you are correct. The idea is that in advanced rules you can use not only constants but other fields(!) with the same type. For example: 1) Show all tasks which contain their task Caption in their task Notes: Rule: Notes | Contains | Caption 2) Show tasks which have StartDate = DueDate Rule: StartDateTime | on | DueDateTime And so on. Not all fields are listed in the combobox so you may type them manually. As I said the possibilities are endless. Andrey.
