laurentbosc	Posted: Mar 13, 2010 Score: 0 Thanks for your prompt answer. I understand. I need this in order to create a synchronisation interface beetween a tool called todolist (offline software) : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/todolist2.aspx This synchronisation would be, in a first time, a one-way sync (from todolist --> toodledo), so a 'delete all' command would be useful, but I can do as you say indeed. Moreover, the goal is to make a bi-directional interface, so this 'deleteall' command will be useless at the end. With this I could see my tasks in toodledo on my iphone. NB : Other thing. You could see todolist, and how tasks and subtasks are managed, with folders. It is possible (or not) to use folder only for classification. It works well, and there is no limitation of sub-levels. Kind regards
