category management in outlook and BCM

[Guest]

1) I am presently using a Palm handheld and was till not synchronising it
with the Palm Desktop. Now i have shifted to OUtlook 2007 with BCM and using
this to sync with my handheld. I have a contact list which is personal on my
Palm and the shared BCM contact list.

I want to use independant category lists on bth my databases. This is
important as the manner in which i need categories on my handheld/pocket pc
is different from teh manner in which my shared BCM data is organised. This
si natural as the BCM database needs to be organised for my small
organisation in general while my handheld is organised for my individual use.

How can manage my categories in this condition.

2)Is it possible to have separate categores for the calender adn for the
contacts. Once again contacts are normally categorised on basis of
functionality of some type. Calender events are categorised on basis of
project/ or other manner. Is there some way in which outlook distinguishes
between this and how can i solve this dilema.

Thanks

Just create the categories that you need in the master category list and then
assign them to either your personal or small business data items as needed.
Both Outlook and BCM share from the same master category list but of course
you do not need to use a given category assignment in both.
