If I double click an appointment I see that a label is set, but when I view
the calendar ususally in month view the label colors do not appear.  I just
got a new laptop last week and was trying to transfer everything which I
managed to do. I had XP Home edition on the old computer and XP Professional
on the new one. This is Outlook 2003 and label colors do not appear. Can
anyone help?

How did you move your data over?

Exported file to a Windows *.csv and imported it on the new computer Jocelyn.
If this was incorrect can I delete them all and re-import in another fashion?
I did the same with my e-mails and they all came through, minus dates and
attachments. :(

I can't even have labels show on new un-imported appointments. Something odd
on the new computer XP Professional and Office 2003. Last one was XP Home,
and Office 2003. The only PST file on this new computer eevn after I've used
Outlook for a few days is archieve.pst where would I copy the new files to?

I have three pst files, archieve, backup and mailbox. I assume it's the
mailbox one.

It's most likely the one with the largest file size and most recent modified
date.  I would guess mailbox.pst too, though Outlook hasn't used that as the
default .PST name since Outlook 97...maybe you've just been using the same
.PST file that long  :-)   Outlook 2003 has a new .PST format, so once you
have things up and running you might want to consider moving your data over
to the new format file.  I can help you with that if you want -- let me know
(after we get the current issue straightened out).

The answer itself was an issue with "Automatic Formatting" in Outlook 2003
Calendar. It's fixed now thank you
