MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2005categories doesn't show in a contact.
I upgraded to a new version of Outlook (2003, SP2). Contacts do not show Categories on the form or in the Edit tab. How can I view and select Categories in my contacts? Categories are not stored in your Outlook Data File. They are stored in the registry: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.htm  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I upgraded to a new version of Outlook (2003, SP2).

Hi Russ, In my previous version of Outlook, each contact had a drop-down or button for "Categories." This button or whatever the name for the link, allowed me to select categories for the contact while creating the new contact. Now I must be in category view and right-click to obtain the list of categories to select from. I did not find the information to restore this "button" in my contacts in the link you provided. Thank you, Dale H. > Categories are not stored in your Outlook Data File. They are stored in the > registry: [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Categories on the form or in the Edit tab. How can I view and select > > Categories in my contacts? That part did not change in Outlook 2003. The categories button is still there and works the same. Are you saying you have no Categories button or that it doesn't bring up your default Contacts? If so, state how you migrated data and settings when you upgraded.

How about you maximise a Contact and then the bottom line will appear????
