Thanks Dwight - I followed your first part, about Advanced Filter - based on a a test sample of one item, deliberately created just now, that shows me any completed tasks that have active subtasks, and their place in the Outline - brilliant. That seems to give me what I want.
Forgive me but I didn't follow the last bits, about Hierarchy configuration - I can't see where to influence that. (I'm using MLO 4.3.1 Pro for Windows).
