I would like to set the color of an appointment based on category and not
labels. I did this with two categories, but I can't get it to work with more than that. I've shut the computer down and still no luck. Please help.... |

(I'm having trouble understanding the whole "View" concept). I am using Outlook 2002 SP3. I have identified 35 Categories that I'm using to classify my appointments and contacts. I have then figured out 10 groupings of these Categories so that they could be color-coded on my Calendar. (e.g., the Categories of Contractors, Competitors and Planning would all fall in the Label of "Business" and be color-coded Blue). When I schedule an event I'd like to only identify the Category and have Outlook automatically apply the Label and color code on the calendar. So... with the Calendar displayed in Day/Week/Month, I chose: View--- Current View --- Customize Current View --- Automatic Formatting I then added rules to set the "Name" to Business and "Label" to Business with Label color of blue for the "Conditions" of Advanced - Field of "Categories" contains Contractors and also criteria of "Categories" containing Competitors or Planning. When I click Ok, it seems to work and the appropriate events are color-coded, but after doing a few other things in Outlook, the colors have disappeared and the Automatic Formatting rules/criteria have disappeared as well. What should I be doing differently? ......maybe there's an easier way...? |

Worked for me, too. The rule forces the label to "Business" when I set the Category to Business.

What should I be doing differently? Depends on what you're doing. You say "after doing a few other things" but you never elucidate what those other things are. We can't tell you what to avoid if we don't know what you're doing. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
