Hi Everyone,

I had to reformat my laptop HD a few days ago. Once I reinstalled MS
Outlook 2003 I restored a backup of my Personal Folder.

Problem: Contacts have Categories that are not listed in the Master
Category list.

How can I update the Master Category List to reflect the Categories from
my contacts and be able to use these same categories for other contacts.
I know I can do this manually but was wondering if there is a faster way.

Thanks in advance for any help your can provide.

No, there's no faster way. The master category list is held in the Windows registry. The time to grab it would have been before you reformatted. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.htm

Thank your Russ and Sue,

I had a feeling this would be the case and have begun the process of
updating my list.

I have also created a backup process so that I do not have this problem
again.

Again thank you.
