Re: Task to do with start and due date?

Fwding conversation with Edmund to the list... (Read from the bottom

Hi Edmund,

Not sure I'm following you. When the alarm go off and/or if an event  
date/time passes, the item is automatically changed from LATER to  
NOW. Is that the functionality you're looking for?
