Hello,

I have a small office with about 10 users on Win00/Ex00, and they share a public folder that contains a contact folder with 15,000 contacts. I recently imported those contacts from a program called ACT! which is contact management software. ACT! uses something called "groups" which is similar to Outlook's "Categories". For example
they might have an ACT! group called "Virginia News Media" were they put all their contacts who fit that description. During the import all the groups converted nicely into outlook categories and i can view the outlook contacts by their custom categories with no problem by chosing from
the Outlook menu View>By Category.

In outlook I see how to create more custom categories through the Master Category List, however from what I have seeen these categories are only kept on the local machine (I have found the registery entry that holds them). My
question is how can I make it so a custom category that I add to the Master Category List shows up on everyone elses Outlook automatically? Because these contacts are in a public folder ment to be viewed by everyone I want the Master Category List to be the same for everyone all the
time.

Thanks much.

David

There's no built-in solution for that. You might read in this article about different methods to share categories.
