Hi Richard, 1) You see the problem only in To-Do or also in Outline? 2) When you say the columns are gone do you mean that they restored to default? 3) When you start MLO your data file opened on To-Do (not Outline?) and you see it refreshed applying columns settings? 4) You mentioned screenshots - can you send them to me? 5) Can you send me your data file or part of it with all the columns settings?
