No...the only way to do that is with some VB script to search the task folder for all items that have 100% completion and delete them. But you can at least set up a custom view for the task folder based on 100% completion and save that view. You can then use Edit/SelectAll in that view to delete all the tasks on a regular basis.

I have my Palm set to override the desktop when it synchs with Outlook (I mostly keep up with my calendar etc. on the Palm). On my Palm, when I mark something complete, it disappears (by design). However, after a synch, all of these deleted tasks show up in Outlook as completed and I have to delete them. Any way around this?
