I am using Outlook 2003. I have several labels and categories setup in my
calendar. When I Invite someone to a meeting or an appointment, the labels or
categories are not showing up when the meeting is accepted in the recipients
Outlook Calendar. Is this information not transferable when inviting
attendees to a meeting?

no, its not included in emailed items - in part because they may have their
own category system and its not the same as yours.

Thanks for the response Diane. Do you know if there is any other way to
update calendar appointments and meetings that would transfer categories and
labels, or would that have to be done with a global or shared calendar type
setting?

I save to the hard drive and zip before mailing.

How do you do that? Save the appointment as a file using save as... Zip, then
how do you get it in the other users appointments?

I drag and drop the item to the desktop, zip it, email the zip and the
recipient opens the zip and drops it in their folder. its obviously not
going to work for most appointments, but when we want to move categories to
new mailboxes, it works.
