Hi Matt: I expected completion to work on Category names, in this case DM_Tasks. It worked like that when I had only the single todo.org file, when my org-refile-targets was nil. It finds headlines (such as Tasks) just fine. > (As an aside, the method of adding categories above has been deprecated. > Using the :CATEGORY: property is a safer method.) Thanks for letting me know. As I wrote earlier, I'm happy with the solution. I will clean up my org files to match current convention. - Ray -- Raymond Zeitler
