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?

That's not possible and has not been in OL03 either.

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?

Appointments are accepted as "complete" when the appointment ends - you
shouldn't need to mark them complete.

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.
