Only ever lose the column settings in the ToDo view. And I am pretty certain that they only ever disappear from the currently selected ToDo view. > 2) When you say the columns are gone do you mean that they restored to > default? Yes - the columns that I have added disappear; the due date and icon columns remain > 3) When you start MLO your data file opened on To-Do (not Outline?) > and you see it refreshed applying columns settings? As far as I can see, MLO opens the view that was open when it was last closed. The phenomena that I described with the default column headings briefly appearing before being replaced by the custom settings occurs in the ToDo view (I have not checked for this behavior in Outline view) > 4) You mentioned screenshots - can you send them to me?
