Sylvain,
It's interesting that that trick would work. One would think it would have
the same problem and not be sync'd over to the pda as soon as it was put
into the completed catagory.
I didn't try it however; I had another idea.
I created a completed subfolder under tasks and moved the items into there.
they were removed from the pda because active sync doesn't recognize
subfolders, it seems.
Now I can choose which ones to remove from the PDA and which to keep there.
