Is there a way to set a Task that has been created to only show on the Start Date and not appear all the time. I would like for the task to appear in the task list only on the date it was started until the due date and not show once it's been checked off.

This software is very complex and convoluted so it sometimes forgets all about a little checkmark in one place while it does something somewhere else.

After doing a little digging, I found a way that you can do this. What you need to do is customize the current view, by clicking on View -> Current View -> Define Views. In this new window, Select the view that you want to modify (or if you're an advanced user, you can even create a new one), and click 'Modify'. Next, click on the 'Filter' button. On this window, click on the 'Advanced' tab. Now, click 'Field -> All Task Fields -> Start Date', followed by the condition of 'Between'. In the Value box, type "1/1/1980 AND %today%", followed by clicking 'Add'.
This should modify the view so that only tasks with Start dates in the past will be shown. (keep in mind that any task with NO start date will be hidden). I hope this helps.
