If you have a start date, but no due date for a task, the due date isn't filled in. But with no dates at all, OF fills in one--the due date.
For example, I have an action "Get Loaned Books Back" with a two-months-from-assigned repeat interval and a start date, but no due date. (I keep a separate list of loaned books in an OmniOutliner document. As an academic at a small school, I'm always loaning books to interested students and colleagues.)

I get it now! Thanks. Sometimes OF seems a little opaque or maybe I'm just a little thick. I know it will help to finish reading the David's GTD book!
:)
Sometimes it takes a while to understand how to best set up OF. Is this an interface thing or me? I'm not sure but I do wonder about folks trying it for the first time. I think the help documentation and Ethan's videos will be the key to sorting a lot of newbies. Thanks again for setting me straight.
