Category color displayed with mulitple categories are assigned?

[Guest]

I am trying to display the color of one of my categories in the 30 day view
of the calendar. I have assigned multiple categories to the calendar
appointment. Outlook displays the color of the category that is higher on
the list of categories. That is, the category color for "Business" is
assigned but I want the color for "Finance" to be displayed.

mine uses the last category applied.

Great answer. It works. What a pain. I usually just go down my list of
categories and check the ones I want. In Outlook 2003, They offered a
"lable" option. 2007 offers more colors but you have to pay more attention
to the order you pick them in. Now I have to find a way to remember how to
prioritize the categories I select when I pick more than one. I searched
through "help" for hours to find out how to show the color I wanted displayed
with very little luck. I hope somewhere there is a way to automatically
place them in an order I prefer. If you have any Ideas let me know? Thank
you, Diane. Mark
