Hi, I'm using this soft since my first PDA (Ipaq 3760) and it's absolutly necessary and useful to complete Today display. Now I'm with my 5th PDa and with the new version of this genial soft. Try it and you'll love it.

During an activesync after installing the program the ipaq restarted, loads 20% of the bar, and restarts again, and again - until the battery drains. Quite hacked off now... guess it's finished until I factory reset it... Thanks alot.

Excellent software, I don't why MS did not think about this before.

This is an excellent application. I have found some bugs however. The unistall does not seem to work unless you rename the dll's of the program and any child programs created. Also I have not found a way to delete child programs. You can clone the TaskPro setup, but you can not delete the clone from what I have seen. Maybe the Windows Mobile 2003 version is better. I still think the program is worth it, but if you aren't comfortable with renaming files to uninstall and reinstalling if you need to delete some clones then find another application.

I only searched a today plugin to show the birthdays in my contacts database and found as the only freeware this tool. After installing it, it showed a few times the tasks and i changed the options to show birthdays. After that the today screen showed as owner a mystic characters, or a path to a file. When I clicked on that "owner" it showed me the correct data, but the content in the today screen was destroyed. I wanted to reset my ipaq but the reset leaded to a hang and I needed to Hard-Reset the ipaq and REINSTALL all applications. This happend twice and I'm very sure that the taskplus plugin is the reason.

Good software. It does what I need, which is to display a task's information. However, like Tony's comment, I can't create clones to display birthdays and anniversaries separately. Maybe it's because my iPAQ runs PPC 2003.

The software is really good. It even better than those commercial packages.
**** [Jul 25, 2003] by Tony using iPAQ 2210
A highly customizable Today plugin! But I still can't figure out how to get birthday to show up in a seperate taskplus instance, and some how I am getting two "Birthday" categories... :P

I love the software and the potential. I do wish you could list the subject along with the catagories instead of the dates.
