Multiple "None" Categories

[Karl Burrows]

I am working to perfect my Outlook! I always use Categories for Contacts
and Tasks, but never really have a need to categorize Appointments. If I
look at it in Category view, I see two "None" categories. I use a Palm and
am almost sure these were events created or changed by the Palm sync (by the
way, someone invent a better sync program that matches the Outlook fields
and they will make millions!). I have a client that uses a custom Contact
Form I created in a Public Folder that has thousands of contacts, many of
which have no Category and I see the same thing in Category view. It's not
the form, so, again, Palm is the culprit.

Is there a way to avoid getting multiple "None" in Categories and force them
into just one?

Thanks!

Both Chapura PocketMirror and Pumatech Intellisync can be set to use Outlook
categories....

My recollection is that you get groups two when you have items that have
never had any category assigned and items that formerly had categories, but
don't now. You might try dragging one "None" group to the other and vice
versa.

I use the Outlook Categories exclusively in Palm. I also use Desktop To Go
which does a much better job of transferring data.

I never used Categories for appointments, which is why it is striking me as
odd. I probably overuse Categories in the other folders (Contacts and
Tasks) and have changed them back and forth many times and the "None"
category still only has one group.
