I have multiple users submitting contacts to me selecting
different categories and inserting text.

How do I set outlook to automatically update ALL
information including Categories and Text.  User A submits
some information for Contact A selecting 2 categories,
User B submits some information for Contact A selecting 3
additional categories.  I want to ensure both are copied
into a central location and the contact is being updated
in all areas INCLUDING Categories and Text.  

The updating works for all information in the fields, but
does not update Categories and Text.  Are you aware of a
way around this problem, or is there an upgrade to Outlook
2000 that will allow this feature.  It is critical to our
contact folder that all updates work.

Thank you.

Hi PF

At www.olcat.com you can find a tool I built to deal with distributing
categories across the enterprise.

If you were using Exchange Server, you'd be able to set up a Public Folder
so that everybody accessing Contact A is doing so in one central location,
so when somebody enters text, it's available to all other authorised users.
Even with Exchange Server though, categories are stored in the individual
PCs' Master Category List, so you'd still need OLCat.

Hope this helps

Jacques
