Correct me, but with your solution, tasks become available (schedule date arrives) and then they will show up on the daily agenda. And they will show up there every day until I mark the task as done. That is not really what I'd like to achieve (not archive!) since tasks with start dates are tasks I can do when the start date arrived but do not have to do on a special date. My workflow is as follows: I have a look at my daily agenda to find out what I have to do that day. There I can find tasks that are scheduled or have a deadline. When I finished these tasks and still have time to do some more work, I do agenda searches for tags and/or todo keywords. So, tasks with only a start date should never show up on my daily agenda. They should be hidden from all agenda searches until the start date arrives. Until then they should be available for all agenda searches (but they should not show up on the daily agenda list until I define a schedule date). Is that also possible or am I the only person that has a need for this? ;-) Thanks for your help! Regards, Karl
