Default Unable to edit Shared Contact's Color Categories

Boss has given me full rights on his shared contacts Outlook 2003,
I open his shared contacts in my Outlook 2007.
I want to edit his default color Categories to put clients in unique
Cetegories, but the buttons to the right i.e. "New", "Rename", "Delete", are
greyed?

Please advise,
Keith

only the boss can edit their Master Category List - I think that's what you
are asking about. If not, come back and explain a bit further.

You need to make your and theirs the same.

Additionally to Judy, if your Boss has OL2003, his Master Category List is
stored in his registry. Your Outlook 2007 would store the categories in the
mailbox, which your Boss cannot read, and he also has no way of seeing any
colors without updating to OL07.

If you want to have the same categories as your boss et vice versa, you may
synchronize the Master Category List between different version of Outlook
with Category Manager. For details and the download please see the link in
my signature.
