Brian - I'm sure you know a lot more than I do about OL, but I think you'll
find the ability to filter contacts by category is device-specific. With my
set-up, for example, (a Sprint HTC Mogul running WM6.1 and syncing with
Outlook 2007 running under Vista syncing via Windows Mobile Device Centre)
there is no way to filter Contacts by category. Before this set up, I was
using the same PDA with XP/Activesync/Outlook 2003 but the situation was the
same. The only way to control which contacts get synced with the phone from
Outlook is to decide which ones to put in the default Contacts folder -
that's it. I have had Sprint and HTC confirm that I can't filter contacts by
category with this device and it was a big disappointment - previous PDA's
were able to do this. Perhaps this is the case with Perry and Michael's
devices also, and why Michael is not seeing it as an option.

Looks like I should get a newer version of ActiveSync. In 4.5 I can't find a
filter for categories.

I'm using V4.5. There is no newer version. Open ActiveSync, click Options.
Select Contacts, click Settings. Click the radio button above the lower pane.
Select the categories.
