I'm wondering if it is a local only or if it can be a networked feature. Here
is the issue on my pc I run outlook 2007. I use the catagory feature in the
calendar to have certain color /catagories for the various project/jobs with
the name of the projects attached to a certain color. It works fine on my pc
but when I go to another pc it just shows the default catagories without my
names. Is it possible to have what I setup on my machine to be available on
all the other networked pc's. I'm running on a sbs 2003 network with 10
users, and we do use exchange.

The colors are stored with the mailbox. If it's a shared mailbox, Outlook
displays the same category names/colors to all OL07 users.

If it's a public folder, you need to deploy the same master category list to
all of the computers. You could use GPO to share categories, but that method
ignores colors.

For sharing the entire master category list with colors see Category
Manager; for more details and the download see the link in my signature,
please.
