OL97: Task Information Bar Does Not Show Overdue Status

Article ID: 161060

Article Last Modified on 1/19/2007

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q161060

SYMPTOMS

If you open a Task that is overdue less than fifteen days, the default Task form displays an Information Bar with the number of overdue days. If the task is overdue by fifteen or more days, no Information Bar appears.

This same behavior is exhibited when displaying the number of days until due for current tasks.

CAUSE

By design, Microsoft Outlook 97 limits the Information Bar warning to fourteen days.

WORKAROUND

You can identify all overdue tasks by selecting one of the Current View options within the Task Folder. All overdue tasks are displayed in the appropriate Overdue Task Color.
