That is interesting. Is my understanding correct, that you meant something like the following. * TODO Task, that can be completed tomorrow or later START: [2011-12-19 Mon] This task will not show up on the daily agenda tomorrow since the timestamp is inactive. But it is still shown its the agenda task list today. What I have to do now is to write a custom agenda search that shows me all tasks that do not have a start timestamp or a start timestamp in the past or today. This search would hide tasks with a start date in the future. Is this what you mean? Regards, Karl
