I have had this problem in Vista Ultimate and now in Windows 7 Pro.
When I upgraded to W7 (clean install) from Vista Ultimate I imported my contacts from my BlackBerry to Outlook 2007. Everything imported OK except for the Colors for the Categories. Is this a bug or what? The same thing happened in Vista upgrading from XP. Any ideas??? -- Bob Eyster Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit |

Not a bug. End user error.
In no way is syncing to a PDA even remotely the same as backing up and restoring Outlook data. Next time copy your Outlook data file and open it in the new installation. -- Russ Valentine "Bob Eyster" wrote in message ... I have had this problem in Vista Ultimate and now in Windows 7 Pro.

Archiving is not the same as backing up either.
Bottom line: if you want to transfer Outlook data, you copy your data file. Anything else loses or changes data. -- Russ Valentine "Bob Eyster" wrote in message ...

Aditionally to Russ, if you still have the old PST file, open it in Outlook and make if the default file. Then you'll have your colors back. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Category Manager - Manage and share your categories: SAM - The Sending Account Manager: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?lang=en Am Tue, 20 Apr 2010 09:52:26 -0400 schrieb Bob Eyster: I have had this problem in Vista Ultimate and now in Windows 7 Pro.
