Is there any reason to keep a history of completed tasks? If so, how would you renew the task as well as archive the original completion along with any notes perinent to that particular event? One more question: What happens if you go past the original due date of a task and then complete it or should you just skip it at that point?
Reply from Richard Rost:
Sure. You can save your completed tasks. That's what the IsCompleted field is for. When they're done, check 'em off. Don't have completed tasks show up in your reports or forms. Now if you want to track all of the histories for RECURRING tasks, that gets a little more complicated. What you could do is have the database create a new, identical task when you mark one task completed. This way you have all of the details, notes, and data on the old task, and a NEW task with a new date has been added.
