How can I automatically assign a category to a task?

When I create my tasks I categorize them by projects. Is it possible to
create a rule for a task that will automatically assign a category to it
based on what project it is in? I ask because when I sync with my PDA I can
only filter by categories and not groups.

No, rules only work for incoming and outgoing mails.

How would Outlook know in what project it is in? You tell that by assigning
categories?

You could use rules to categorise emails as you receive them. Then if you
turn an email into a task (drag to Tasks folder with R mouse) it will
already be categorised.
