We are using Outlook 2007.  Our office has 1 person that keeps a calender to
track vacations and so forth, they SHARE it with 7 other employees.  The
keeper of the calender has made different categories (red is for Debbie,
green is for Connie, etc.) We want everyone looking at it and editing it to
use the same categories as set for the keeper.  This doesnt work - first when
they look at this calender the colors are not there and their list of
categories are not the same as the keepers.  They have their original one, we
add the new categories to their list, if they shut out of Outlook and go back
in the categories we set are gone....  We have tried changing their
permissions saying they are the owner of the calendar and so forth and that
doesn't work either.  ANY SUGGESTIONS??????  THANKS!

That approach works in a Public Folder, but not a shared one.  If you have
Exchange, ask admin to make you a Public Calendar and set the permissions on
who gets to use it.  The Owner will be able to set the Category colours and
all users will see the same set.

How are you adding the categories? They should stick.
