Thanks, Diane. The modified date provided the clue I needed. All of my color
labeled appointments that should be archiving now show a modified date of
3.20.2008...which was the date I installed Office 2007 with Outlook2007.

So, that suggests that when OL2007 updated my colors, categories etc. using
my 2003 data, it changed all my modified dates. Not a very nice "surprise".
Guess I will have to wait 6 months out from 3.20.08 (or shorten my archiving
schedule) to see those finally archived.

I wonder if I change a category manually now (color or rename), will it
change the modified date on all previously categorized items? I hope not. I
better do a test.

archive uses the modified date - applying categories or doing other things
will change the modified date. You can add the modified date field to the
view so you can see what the modified date is.

Clarification. My first description was wrong. Actually, what appears to
be
happening is that all my Uncategorized (light blue) appts are transferred
to
the archive "Calendar in Archive Folders" properly, but any appts that
have a
color/category assigned are not transferring into the archive. The only
difference between the two types of appts is that I color/categorized
some.
How do I get those into the archive?
