Public folders changes problem

[Miha]

Hi

On Exchange 2007 I created public folder named "IT" and inside a calendar
called "IT calnedar" that is used for all events in our IT department.
It's strange when our secretary adds events into this calendar and mark them
with different colors (categories) these changes (the right color for each
event) are only shown in Outlook 2003 or OWA, but in Outlook 2007 all colors
are mixed up.
We all have Outlook 2007 in IT department, so we all see wrong colors, but
when I try to log-on through OWA or with a test machine that has Outlook
2003 installed everything is OK. I also tried to disable/enable caching of
public folders on Outlook 2007, but the problem remains.
Any ideas what is happening and how to solve this?
Regards,
Miha

The problem is caused by colours relating to different fucntions in 2003 and
2007. So for mixed environments it does not work smoothly.

In 2003 LABELS make colours in the Calendar.
In 2007 CATEGORIES make colours in the Calendar.

Each user has their own Category Master List and Labels list so it's messy
enough in environments with only one version of Outlook running.
