From: John McGregor on 8 Dec 2009 10:33 I have one user who changes the colour categories of calendar appointments in a public folder calendar. The colour changes show immediately on the calendar on her Outlook client (Outlook 2007) but other users who access this calendar do NOT see the colour changes at all. However, if any of the other users make a change to the colour of the appointments, then everyone else sees the change immediately, including the one user who's changes are NOT seen! I've checked the permissions, the update timings, the public folder permissions on Exchange (Exchange 2003). I've recreated the user's mail profile and re-installed the Office 2007 package. I've used the /cleancategories startup switch. Nothing seems to work for this one user. We are using Outlook 2007 on an Exchange 2003 server. The client OS is Windows XP. Can anyone help please?

The category is stored with the item, but the color isn't. For public folders, you need to create the same master category list (names and colors) on every computer. A tool for sharing categories is Category Manager. For details see the link in my signature, please. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?
