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. -Dwight
