I can't replicate this. Could you provide an minimal example that demonstrates the problem? > **What's a workflow that will allow me to open up my archived TO-DOs > to evaluate them?** I would probably do the same thing you did: i.e., use column view in the archive file. You could also try including archive files in the agenda ("v A") and then using column view in the agenda. That would have the effect of merging archived and non-archived tasks into a single view.
