Default Grayed out Master Category List

I currently have permission to view and edit my boss's contacts in Outlook
2007. When I was originally editing her contacts I was able to create
categories and edit them. However, now when I go to categorize one of her
contacts all the categories I created are gone and when I go to edit the
list, all the edit options are grayed out and I can't make any changes.
However, she hasn't changed any of her permissions.

When I go to my own contact list, all the categories I created are available
and editable.

Any and all advice would be much welcome.

Default Grayed out Master Category List



You can't edit her master category list. But adding new categories should be
possible; for that you need full permission to her calendar as that's the
place where the master category list is stored for OL07 users.

Default Grayed out Master Category List

Dear Michael,

I already have full permission to edit and was able to add categories in the
past. I'm trying to figure out what may have changed without her changing
her settings. Any thoughts?

Yes, by far this wouldn't be the first time that someone is very sure, "I
have nothing changed"... :-)
