I'd like to add my _archive files to my agenda. I don't need the entries clogging up my day-to-day .org files, but I want the items to still appear in my agenda. I found this in the org manual: >The information to be shown is normally collected from all agenda files, >the files listed in the variable org-agenda-files[98]. > >[98] If the value of that variable is not a list, but a single file name, >then the list of agenda files will be maintained in that external file. So based on that, I put this in my .emacs file: (setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org/agenda.file.list"))) but I cannot seem to get this to work. When that file has a plain old list of filenames in it, I get an error Agenda file ~/org/agenda.file.list is not in `org-mode' When that file is empty, then there is nothing in my agenda. I then tried using C-c [ to add a file to the list, and I end up with '(org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org/file.org" "~/org/agenda.file.list"))) in my .emacs file. Am I misunderstanding? The manual sounds like I can maintain a file that contains a list of files that the agenda should use. But I can't seem to make that happen, either automatically or manually. What am I doing wrong? --hymie! http://lactose.homelinux.net/~hymie hymie@lactose.homelinux.net
