Try this 2-step approach.

Create a flag with the formula shown below

Save the View and anytime you open it, it should only show you Tasks that are in-progress.

PlannersPlace,
Unless I'm missing something, this does the same thing as the built-in "In Progress Tasks" filter.

  You are right, it does the same thing as the built-in in-progress tasks filter.

    Thank you PlannersPlace and John-project for taking the time to respond. However, PlannersPlace's filter uses % Complete, and I don't plan to update that field.
    
    Also, the built in In Progress Tasks filter uses the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields, which I don't plan to update. I want to use Start and Finish, but when I edit the In Progress Task filter and change the field names to Start and Finish, it doesn't highlight or filter. If you don't mind, give it a shot on your end and see if you get a different result.
