As I said to the other poster, I can't repro this problem here on a couple
of Outlook 2007 SP2 systems. I plan to test the poster's code when I get a
chance to see what's going on. All I can say is that I have my own addin
code that completely changes the categories list and it continues to work on
SP2.

If I do turn up a but created by SP2 I'll report it to MS, but that won't
help until or if MS fixes the problem.

Hi all,

we have a similar problem. We are using two vb-scripts, the first one to
delete all existing categories and a second one to "install" our
predefined
categories. The two scripts were working since Jan/Feb 2009 with Outlook
2007
SP1. It seems that the scripts for the categories are not working anymore
since installing Office 2007 SP2.

We have the same symptoms:
- Outlook 2007 running
- Run one of our vb-script (delete categories or install categories)
- I see all categories deleted and then all our custom predefined
categories
- Close Outlook
- Reopen Outlook
- All changes in categories are gone.

Any idea or solution?

Manfred
