I love Categories in Outlook 2007. I would like to force the "Color
Categories" dialog to pop-up everytime I Close an email to ensure that I
categorize that mail approprately.

Can someone please tell me how to do this?

Thanks,

Shazzam

That would requirre VBA code calling the ShowCategoriesDialog method.

Hello Sue,

Thanks for the reply. I figured this was going to require some type of
programming.

Is this simple enough that you can reply with a sample?

Thanks,

Bruce.

No, it's not simple, because of the need to handle multiple mail items that might be open at one time.
