Calendar coloring automatic formatting rules disappear

[Guest]

In Outlook 2002 SP3, on more than one occasion, all the rules that I set up
for automatically coloring my calendar items have seemingly disappeared. I
think that each of these occurences corresponded with a problem undocking or
shutting down my laptop while Outlook was running.

So my question is this: Where are the formatting rules actually stored?
I'm pretty sure I have backups of all the files that Outlook uses, but I'm
just not sure which one would contain the calendar coloring rules.

They are stored in the view - it's possible the view changed when you shut
down. I recommend copying the view to a new name so that it can't get reset
as easily.
