Outlook 2000 - how do i change catagories on multiple events?
 

I have been entering a large number of birthdays in our family calendar and
catagorized the entire list incorrectly. Is there a way to change them all
at once or do I have to do it individually?

Display your calendar in the By Category view, select the incorrectly
categorized entries, then drag the selection to the correct category.

Thanks for the info. It works great for adding the items to another list
however, when I delete the old list, it deletes the event completely not just
the items on the list. How do I get rid of the items on the incorrect list?

Hmm. I see what you mean. I'll have to experiment.

Thanks. I've been playing with this for a while. It's almost as if you
need to enter the item once for each catagory. Not very efficient.

I haven't forgotten, just haven't had the time to devote to it yet.

I can't say when I'll be able to get to this. Perhaps once of the MVPs
knows the answer already and will join the thread.

Unfortunately (for the OP, not for me) my last installation of Outlook 2000 CW was wiped in August for a new Windows XP/Office 2003 installation at work. So, I no longer have access to Outlook 2000 and don't have the RAM to load another VM just to test this problem.

Sorry from here.
