If I assign a categorie to let's say contacts and then click on the entry in
the Categories column, the categorie disappears. If I continue until all the
entries in are gone it even deletes the categorie itself. Help! I'm using
Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2003. I was able to reproduce on 3 different
accounts.
Thanks, J.

In version 2007 that's how it works. When you click the Categories column
the default Category is applied to that item. Don't click on the column or
do it once you have set a default category and you want it to categorise it.

Additionally to Judy, if you right click in the category column you get the
list of the last 15 used categories to choose from. And on the buttom of
that list is a command via that you can set yourself the category that you
want to apply with the left mouse click.
