Hello,
I have been looking for quite a long time for the following question :

On the Outlook calendar (2003), there are 2 fields related to
categories
- one at the top of the screen "categories of the calendar" (translated
from French.... as I have a French release of outlook)
- a second one at the bottom, "categories"

I am used to use the first of the two fields. I can't find to what
method the first field is related as the "appointmentitem.categories"
methode is obviously related to the second field categories".

Thanks for your help

They may be both the same thing. What does it say in French? Where at the top of the screen? An annotated screen shot posted to on the web would be very helpful.

Thanks for your reply.

The 2 fields are different as I tested various values in the two fields
and appointmentitem.categories displays only the "contacts" categories
(bottom one).
Picture as suggested

bye

Thanks! The picture makes it perfectly clear. The "Categorie du calendrier" at the top is what we would call in English the "calendar color label." It is not accessible through the Outlook object model, but can be set or read with CDO 1.21. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=139 for sample code.
