Accessing / Updating Categories list

Hello all,

Is there any way to programatically access and update the
Master Categories list for a user? I am programming in
both an Outlook Form (VBScript) and VB 6.0 environment so
the ability to access on either level will do. Is there
something via the Outlook Object Model that I can use?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil Dittmar

The master categories list is in the user's Windows registry, so use
registry methods.
