Filter and New Task Problems

[mtbcpa]

I am using Outlook 2003 through an exchange server. I have 2 wierd
problems I am hoping to get help with:

1. When I am in a PUBLIC task folder and I want to create a new task,
I select new and then task and create it. Outlook puts it into my
personal task folder. I then have to drag it and drop it into the
public task folder. How do I make it go straight into the public
folder right off the bat?

2. I have create a calendar agenda view that has a filter on the tasks
so that it shows only those tasks completed last week. When I go to
that view, there are no tasks displayed. What I then have to do is
edit the view, remove the filter and then add the exact same filter,
and then the tasks are displayed. Why doesn't this work right in the
first place?

Thanks!

1) Click the New button itself. That creates a new item in the current
folder.

2) I think there's a known problem with filters on the task pad not
persisting.
