That's precisely what he did. That's why he was using Jan. 1 1904 as "no due
date", which would otherwise be a highly peculiar thing to do. He would have
assumed that anyone who might be able to provide help would also know that.
The original version of Entourage - 2001 - had due date as a r/o property of
task (which made it totally useless for scripting). This was fixed/improved
in Entourage X, where due date is read/write. But Patrick has discovered the
bug that no-due-date can't be set to an existing task. It's a genuine bug.

you need to set the due date to.
