I'm trying to build my own custom "hot list," which should contain anything with a due date in the next 14 days, and any OVERDUE tasks with a 2 or 3 priority.

This is what I'm putting into the search:

Match all
(checked off is no)
AND
(Due date is after 1/1/1980)
AND
(Due date is before 14 days OR priority is 2 OR priority is 3)

But I'm getting back overdue tasks with ANY priority. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Anders

I'm not clear on whether or not you want tasks shown from the next 14 days to be only 2 or 3 priority, or just the overdue tasks, but if you want that for only the overdue tasks try this:

Match Any

Checked off is No
and
Due date is in the next 14 days

or

Checked off is No
and
Due date is before today
and
Priority is 2

or

Checked off is No
and
Due date is before today
and
Priority is 3

UPDATED: Updated Java, and I'm fine.

I will try that asap - thank you.

A related question -- when I try to click the RED X, today, to delete a single part of a search, I get "Error on page" in the lower right of my IE 7 screen. It has worked before. What could cause this? I'm having to delete entire searches and recreate them, just to modify them.

Edit:Just saw your own edit so I guess don't worry about this.

That is strange about IE. I have no use for IE, but still have IE7 on my computer since you can't truly delete it anyway, and deleting a single search element works for me. What I can tell you is that Toodledo is not entirely compatible with older versions of IE. You could try updating to IE8, or better yet, just download Firefox.

Glad the search worked.

We'll check on the "error on page" issue with IE7, but Anders is right about upgrading to IE8 or Firefox.
