Thanks Bedrudin. I did give this a try but it didn't prove quite as elegant as Dwight's solution of using a new MLO view. I found myself feeling a little concerned that one day the lead time might expire without me noticing and the task would vanish from view. The other thing, which was proving more troublesome, was that the task was constantly being highlighted in Amber by MLO because the software was correctly identifying the task as being active due to the start date having passed - even if it was not time for me to do the task yet. With the other view-based approach, tasks that are pushed into the future (but still visible) are kept in blue so I can continue to rely on the MLO Blue/Amber/Red colours for quickly judging the state of my ToDo list.
Thanks anyway.
