Well, you can choose to display the Tasks Pane in the Calendar view
(Calendar > Tasks Pane). Or, you can use Entourage Today to view the days
tasks & events in one window.

Alternatively, You can use this script by Paul Berkowitz to do that. Copy
it into Script Editor (/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor). Then, save
the script into ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu
Items/. You can then run the script when you have a new task done, and the
script will create a corresponding task on the correct due date.
