Using imported categories.
Many apologies if this has been asked before but......
I have imported approx 1,000 contacts from Office 2000. Each was grouped into about 10 different custom categories I set up. Office 2007 groups them by the same categories - great. BUT The category button at the top only allows me to categorise new categories into pretty colours. Not so great. I am probably missing something here, but is there a solution please - I'd like to keep using my old categories. Many thanks.

Did you right-click the root of your data store and choose Update to Color Categories? By the way, importing is never the way to transwfer data from one Outlook instance to another. You lose data when you do. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Thank you Brian.
I am a little unclear what you mean by "the root of my date store". Apologies for the ignorance on my part!
