    <pre wrap="">Hi all and congratulations for the program. 
I am a newbie using Webcalendar, I have installed it in a Windows 2000
and it works ok but I have a doubt adding tasks that last several
days. When I have added a todo task that, for example, last from 26
July to 29 July I have observed that when you return to the calendar
view it only appears this task the last day (29 July) ; so my question
is:

Is there any option to display this task all the days?

I believe you can achieve this by using a different "task". That is,
using something like "meeting" or "appointment". This way, you would
schedule it as a daily event from 26 to 29 July, occuring at a
particular time each day during that period.

If there is another way to accomplish this I'd like to know. The
functionality you mention is part of Project Planning software I've
seen. I haven't tried to set up a WebCalendar as a Resource calendar,
but perhaps it exists in that context.

When you set the option "Remind forward" on the Task editor screen
(bottom right corner) 
the task is shown on all days from start to end date as you require. 
However, it is only shown on days from "today" and after.&nbsp; So, you will
not see these 
repeated reminders on tasks that have been or had to be completed in
the past. 
 
When testing, make sure that you insert a task to start and complete in
the future, and set 
the Remind forward option to Y.
