Use of Catagories field in Restrict statements

Nestreve

Would someone kindly clarify whether the Categories field can be used in
Restrict statements. According to Microsoft help it can't and will cause an
error. When I use it, it works fine. I've seen other comments that say the
same thing and I have seen comments here that support Microsoft's help. By
the way, Microsoft's help does show examples using Categories after it says
you can't use it. Confusing!

If MS says it doesn't work, then it's at least not supported.

Years ago I tested it with a German OL2k and OL03. In OL2k nothign worked.
In OL03 it worked with the localized property name ('Kategorien' in German
for Categories). But it did so only for the = operator, LIKE didn't.
