 Sharing Outlook 2007 categories
Outlook, Outlook 2007, Outlook calendar, Outlook Shared Calendar
We are trying to set up a shared calendar for 20 people, but we want them to use a specific color coded categorizing system. I set the categories in my calendar and used them to set up the shared calendar, but when others access it they see none of the categories that I've assigned to the items.

Are all the users accessing this account using outlook 2007? Outlook 2003 cannot see the color categories.

I have not tried this myself, but I wonder if this is a “feature” not a “problem” according to microsoft? I can’t find any info on this one either. It might be worth it to call Microsoft and enquire about this functionality. If you do find an answer please post it, I am interested. Sorry I do not have an answer for you on this one.
