I just upgraded this morning to Outlook 2007 and it seems I've lost the
ability to change the category of a single occurrence in a recurring event. This is my most used function. I change the category to reflect the event has been completed. Any suggestions? |

OL03 did let me do it. In fact, when I upgraded to 07 and it automatically
imported my pst, you can go back to previous days before my conversion and see recurring events in a different color than what was originally set up for the recurrence. It was my most important function. Can you suggest some other way I may not be aware of to visually make a distinction that a single occurrence of a recurring appt. has been completed?

![]() I assume, you mix categories with labels. You could change the (colored) label for a single occurence, but you cannot change the category for that item. Additionally to Diane, an appointment is something you have at a specific time, either you have it or not, you don't complete an appointment. If you want to track the progress of something a task would be better to use. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : VBOffice Reporter for Data Analysis & Reporting : Outlook Categories?
