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???

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.

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.

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.

You will always lose data when converting to another format. Outlook uses a
proprietary database and the same is true of any other proprietary database.
If someone wants to convert their data to a different format, they need to
understand some information will be lost. Most users know that.
