Btw, if anyone else is interested in how Custom Fields might possibly be implemented in MLO, I recommend you have a look at how ToDoList by AstractSpoon has implemented them. Anyone familiar with MLO will quickly become frustrated by ToDoList's clunkly interface, so I don't recommend anyone use the software in any serious way for personal productivity/task management, but how it does Custom Fields is interesting. If you right-click on the title row you will find something called "Custom Task Attributes" and it is extremely powerful. You can choose whether the field is single-selection or multi-selection as well as whether it is dynamic or static, Alignment, the field's column title, etc etc. From memory there is also some way of controlling how default values work, which to my way of thinking would be crucial.
SRhyse - I'm not going to bother to defend myself against your criticisms because I think this has descended into a war of words that will help absolutely no one. Going forward let's try and focus on the facts & features of MLO.
