Sharing Master Categories List

We use a Contact database in a public folder to store our
corporate contacts database. I have created a couple of
special Categories and saved them in what is called the
Master Categories List. Now when I want to assign that
category to a contact it is there on the pop-up list when
I hit the "Catergories..." button on the Contacts form
(lower right). HOWEVER, this is not the case for other
users on the team - they get the standard Master List or
their version of it. It seems that the "Master List" is
defined separately for each user. Is it possible to have
a shared Master List of Categories??

Thanks for any assistance

You are correct -- the master list is private to each user. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/reqcat.htm for a custom form solution.
