I would like some help with the public folders contacts.

At our offices we all share the public folders contact
list. However I have gone in to change the categories so
that we can categorise our contacts with relevant details
for our company and can not seem to get the category list
to change on everyone's PC's without having to go around
seperately to all stations and change them manually.

I have tried loging on as the administrator but this still
seems to not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions???

Thank you for your help.

The master Category list is part of each user's Windows registry. Users can see what categories other users have put on items, but don't know what categories the other users have on their master lists. The best solution in a public folder is to enforce category selection through a custom form. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.htm for more info and http://www.slipstick.com/dev/olforms/reqcat.htm for a sample form

Hello Angela

If you prefer a simpler but less elegant solution than Sue's suggestion of a
form, have a look at www.olcat.com.
