Can no longer view by category

[Polly Anderson]

I've updated to Outlook 2003 recently and I can no longer
view my contact by their categories. Some contact have
multiple categories but they only get sorted via the first
category entered. e.g. If I go to view - arrnage by -
categories, there are a couple of categories showing only
1 entry and yet I know there are more. I can see the
category is entered correctly by opening each contact but
if it isn't the first category in the list, it doesn't
show in the 'category view'.

Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Sounds like you might have a filter set on the view to show only a few categories.

This is not the exact same problem, but since updating to Outlook 2003, I don't even see
my categories anymore? In Help, it referred to "Categories on the Edit Menu", but I have
no such item on that menu. Also, when setting up new contacts, there is no field on the
setup screens to enter categories. It's probably and option I did not install or
something, but have others experienced this and have a solution to get access to my
categories back?
Thanks
