Coloring past appts in groups by Category

[RamProwler]

I've managed to lose all the color labels in my calendar older than this
month. How can I go back and label/color code old appointments in a group?
I can pull most of the groups out by category, but don't know how to then
label the entire group

Thanks

Carolyn

Outlook version? What did you do just before the labels were lost?

Sorry, Outlook version 2003. I think it was when I syn'd my Palm Pilot with
my laptop, instead of just with my desktop. Lost it on the Palm too.

But if I can fix my Outlook on my desktop, I can re-sync with my Palm and I
promise to leave my laptop alone!

Thanks

select them and right click - I think you can assign the labels as a group.
if not, try a group by label view and drag appointments between groups.

That didn't work. I'm going to lose my mind. I have years of data in here
and I love being able to figure out what happened when just by the colour of
my monthly calendar. They are pretty much sorted by Category to match the
Labels as well. I just need to be able to go back and recolour everthing as
a group. Any other ideas? Downloadable tools??

Assuming the color was from a label - if you add the Label field to the view
then group by it, you can drag the items into the label groups to change the
labels. If a group doesn't exist for the label, you'll need to change a
label yourself so its created. I just tested it on Outlook 2003 and it does
work.

If the color was applied using a view, you'll need to either apply the view
or recreate it.
