I'm using Outlook 2007 in a standalone setup (e.g. I'm not using exchange).
When I make an appointment of any kind I assign it to a category and I also
invite my wife so the entry will also appear on her PC in her Outlook 2007.
When she downloads her email one of the items is the invite from me. When
she
accepts it appears on her calendar but it no longer has the category I
assigned to it (it does not have any category assoicated with it). Is there
anything I can do so the category I assigned to it will also be reflected in
her calendar without any action on her part? Along with the category I want
the same color assigned to it.

I haven't checked because I'm not at my Outlook 2007 system right now, but I
believe Outlook 2007 installs by default with a rule that removes categories
on incoming messages. I don't know if this contributes to what you're seeing.
Someone else can confirm.
