I did something very similar with the Calender folder where I had the
calendar view itself coming in as rows into a table in access ...all
by the click of the button without those annoying dialog boxes .

But now I am wondering about the Master Category List that contains
the default values or can contain customized catergories...I was
thinking about just wanting the catorgories themselves to come into a
table by itself without the other info...I plan I on using these
values to appear as labels on a VB form.

But right now the only way to make them appear in a table is if there
are used as part of an entry in the calender view....and there are
displayed as a categories field along with the rest of the info in the
row

How do I isolate the Master Category list so that ALL the categories
listed there are placed in a  table by themselves.

Thanks for the help...
