MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2003Outlook 2000 Master Category List
I am trying to copy and paste new Master Category List (MasterList) values to Microsoft/Office/9.0/Outlook/Categories on Windows 2000 machines. I have been able to locate this key on several without any problems, but on others I either cannot locate the key at all (even though Outlook is installed and operational) or it appears after a period of time (also after closing and opening and searching on possible values and closing and reopening, etc.). Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated. (W2K w/ SP4) Office 2000. Thanks, Cathy Ref. Microsoft Outlook Version 2002 Inside Out by Jim Boyce, p. 114-116 The list is only in the registry if you add to it. So on machines where the default list hasn't been added to the key isn't there. Also, if you ever move to Outlook 2002 or later the key is now a Binary and the contents are in Unicode (a 00 every other character) instead of a String value in ANSI as it was in Outlook 2000. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginners Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm > I am trying to copy and paste new Master Category List (MasterList) values > to Microsoft/Office/9.0/Outlook/Categories on Windows 2000 machines.

I use code for that all the time. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginners Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm > Well, this is strange since we haven't added the category list to any > machine.
