AlphaEric	Posted: Jan 05, 2012 Score: 1 Reference AlphaEric Posted: Jan 05, 2012 Score: 1 Reference awesome! Note- I get a script error (apparently due to google analytics) the first time the page opens, but after that everything works fine. minor annoyance.
kitty	Posted: Jan 11, 2012 Score: 2 Reference kitty Posted: Jan 11, 2012 Score: 2 Reference First of all, this solution is absolutely brilliant. THANK YOU for posting it! I'm getting the same Google Analytics error when I try to set up the Toodledo item in Outlook tasks, so that I can go to go to very specific URL (such as http://www.toodledo.com/slim/#_folders). IE error message: Line: 39 Char: 30 Error message: Unspecified error Code: 0 URL: http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js Does anyone have a way to fix this? It's actually a pretty major annoyance for me since it defeats the purpose of having one-click access to Toodledo.
Michael_49	Posted: Jan 12, 2012 Score: 1 Reference Michael_49 Posted: Jan 12, 2012 Score: 1 Reference I noticed that I received the error message when I had it go to a specific location (ie http://www.toodledo.com/tasks/index.php?#goal) rather than just to http://www.toodledo.com. You can then set the default view to open in Toodledo to circumvent the error. This message was edited Jan 12, 2012.

mail_tdl	Posted: Feb 22, 2012 Score: -1 Reference mail_tdl Posted: Feb 22, 2012 Score: -1 Reference There is another way to integrate Toodledo into Outlook Today. It requires some set-up and generating a custom version of the outlook.htm file. Please see this link for additional information on this step. http://www.techrepublic.com/article/understand-how-to-truly-customize-the-outlook-today-page/5149522 I used an iframe tag to embed the Toodledo slim edition right on my Outlook Today screen. I use the winter theme, so it blends right in. The code I replaced contained the string: "TABLE border=0 name="TaskCol" Replace the listed <TD> cells with the following line: <td></td>

Kurt	Posted: Mar 05, 2012 Score: 2 Reference Kurt Posted: Mar 05, 2012 Score: 2 Reference I have been using (wrestling with, really) gsyncit for about 2 months. I have Outlook 2010 on an Exchange server at my work, and I send my Contacts and Calendar to Google and my Tasks to Toodledo so that I can sync everything up to my iPad and iPhone. Comments regarding Calendar and Contacts are below, if anyone is interested, so I'll jump straight to my experiences with Outlook Tasks and Toodledo. This has been so problematic that I have stopped using it for tasks and reverted to using the Toodledo website directly. Repeating tasks were reset to today's date (recent updates claim to have fixed this but I'm still having issues). Even though I set Toodledo as the primary, gsyncit kept letting Outlook tasks overwrite Toodledo tasks. I was constantly having to monitor the syncs for minor strangeness during synchronization. Finally, when Outlook/gsyncit started deleting chunks of still-active tasks in Toodledo, I called it quits. I was spending too much time managing just managing the system and data, and not enough time doing the stuff on my action list. Bottom line: I looked at several of the solutions available, and gsyncit appeared to have exactly what I needed, but it still seems rather buggy for my situation. ========== Calendar works great. Contacts works so-so -- on my devices most of my 500+ contacts' address formats get mangled due to some U.S. vs. non-U.S. address formatting issue (could be due to my European employer's default Exchange settings, who knows). Frustrating for detail types like me (is anal-retentive hyphenated? let's find out) but all the data is still there, just not pretty.

I am on a project team and we use the task view in outlook to keep up with each others work flow. If I use this work around will everyone be able to see my entire project list? Is there a way to only show projects that are work related and keep other projects like 'Home Remodeling' from being seen?

gwpeterson	Posted: May 08, 2012 Score: 1 Reference gwpeterson Posted: May 08, 2012 Score: 1 Reference I really like this, it's a super slick alternative to trying to Sync Outlook with Toodledo. I'm running Outlook 2007 and I've got the iCloud sync for my Calendar and Contacts. BTW, that's a different story and a different thread. :) I keep everything synced between my iPhone, iPad and Outlook, and the different sync programs available for Outlook (currently I use Chromatic Dragon) don't quite work. You can't use Subtasks, entries are truncated, the priorities don't match up. In fact, just trying to map different categories to Outlook is enough to make me abandon Outlook all together. This is the best possible solution, and I've started using it to eliminate the need to constantly monitor Outlook to ensure it doesn't overwrite my tasks (or fail to sync properly). Bravo!
efremiv	Posted: May 22, 2012 Score: -1 Reference efremiv Posted: May 22, 2012 Score: -1 Reference Great solution! In Outlook, when I hit the Tasks button, it automatically takes me to the 'To-Do Tasks' folder. How do I switch the default My Tasks folder to Toodledo?
