Hi Jeff,

A1: Yes!

My guess is that you have the Action Filter set to "Active". The
"Active" Action Filter is designed to show only tasks that are
actionable right now. By definition, any task with a Start Date of
tomorrow or later is not yet actionable. If you change your Action
Filter "All", you will pick up those tasks with Start Dates for
tomorrow or later. Second, you do need to use sub-rules. I believe
your three lines will pick up completed tasks for tasks with
DueDateTime on or before today+5.

A2:

Try the following:

Action Filter set to "All", with advanced set up of the following 4
rules:

(not(Complete)) AND

    DueDateTime on or before today+5 OR
    StartDateTime on or before today+5

The second rule is empty. The 3rd and 4th lines are sub-rules of the
second empty rule.

I believe this will get you precisely what you want.

Best regards,

Ron
