I have a user who opens up multiple calendars at the same time. She is using
Outlook 2007 and it shows each calendar in a different color. The problem is
the colors do not match mailboxes as they are shown in her navigation pane.
If she keys in on color she may look at the incorrect calendar. She already
has SP2 for Office installed as well. Any ideas?

Are they totally different colors? Can you post a screenshot? (xsolive.com
has a screenshot library you can use)

That is correct. If you look at the screen shot in XSOLive Sharepoint 2007
Demo Site > Outlook Screen shots > mixedcolors is show's Bell's color on
Bleeker's Calendar. Those are the only one you can make the names out on. I
went down to get another screen shot and the colors are now coordinated
correctly. So now my question is what can be done if they become mixed
again? I'd hate to have her look at the incorrect scheudule for a VIP and
mischedule something.
Thanks,

Russ

I don't know if resetting the navpane would help - it is the usual fix for
navigation pane problems but it means wiping out all of the customizations -
as in she'd have to re-add all the calendars and I'm not 100% sure that is
the cause/solution.

How often does the color get screwed up?
