MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / February 2007Sharing Categories
Prior to upgrading to office 2007, when we assigned a label color to a Meeting in the public Exchange calendar everyone could view it. Now we aren't able to "share" that label. There does not appear to be a "Master Category List" that everyone on Exchange can share. Am I missing something Hi Hammer, Outlook/Exchange can not share Categories. Not in Outlook 2007 and not in earlier versions. -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Synchronize your Outlook: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com > Prior to upgrading to office 2007, when we assigned a label color to a > Meeting in the public Exchange calendar everyone could view it.

There are two solutions: One would be to use a custom form in the folder that provides a list of acceptable categories. That is probably not going to work well with your calendar folder. The other is to use the tools in the Office 2007 Resource Kit to deploy a selected set of categories, so that they append to what the use already has.
