Hi, Andrew, I understand that your problem is fixed. However, I need to 
make one more comment just to make this as clear as possible to future 
users who may be reading it:
Andrew is totally correct that "Active Actions must not have a start date 
or have a start date that has already occurred". This actual issue here is 
that the "ActiveAction" test in MLO's Advanced Filtering is misnamed. It 
should actually be called "IsOrWillBeActive" and there should be another 
test called "IsActive". The current test (ActiveAction, should be 
IsOrWillBeActive) tests for six of the seven conditions that could make a 
task inactive, it ignores the condition involving start date. This is 
necessary to enable views like "Active Next 7 days". The result of this is 
that anyone who actually wants to filter for tasks that are actually active 
right now as to code ((ActiveAction) AND ((StartDateTime orOrBefore Now) OR 
(StartDateTime doesNotExist))) in order to include the start date test 
along with the other six tests. If the current version of the test 
(ActiveAction) were renamed IsOrWillBeActive then there should be a new 
test IsActive that would include the date test. So far there is no 
indication that MLO will be changed in this way.
