I agree with you on this point but, in this case, it makes sense for both aspects to be highlighted in the agenda view. I would suggest that you might wish to change (reduce) the warning period for the deadline when you schedule an item or alternatively not schedule an item but simply assign an appointment date/time (i.e. an active time stamp) to it for when you want to work on the task. The latter is what I do in many cases. eric
