Sharing Categories

Prior to upgrading to office 2007, when we assigned a label color to a
Meeting in the public Exchange calendar everyone could view it. Now we
aren't able to "share" that label. There does not appear to be a "Master
Category List" that everyone on Exchange can share. Am I missing something

Hi Hammer,

Outlook/Exchange can not share Categories.

Not in Outlook 2007 and not in earlier versions.

We have always shared our "Labels" on the public calendars in the past. We
were using 2003 and we could edit the "Master Category List"

The issue here is not category-sharing per se, but the fact that the calendar color labels have morphed from a folder-specific setting to a user-specific setting. There are two solutions: One would be to use a custom form in the folder that provides a list of acceptable categories. That is probably not going to work well with your calendar folder. The other is to use the tools in the Office 2007 Resource Kit to deploy a selected set of categories, so that they append to what the use already has.

Unfortunately those are both options that are over my head. I am assuming I
am going to have to come up with some work around. I am disappointed.
Thanks
