Share contact categories

[Jonas Sackerud]

Hi all!

We are a small company that uses Outlook 2003/Exchange 2003 to keep track of
our customers. We use categories on the contacts to divide customers into
different customer types, keep track of who got give aways for xmas and so
forth.

The problem is that categories that we create ourselves only show up at the
computer where it was created. Someone told me that the categories a stored
locally in the registry. Right?

Is there any way to store newly created categories so that all Outlook users
can share all categories. If not, what other solution do you suggest to add
custom attributes to the contacts?

Thanks for your help Russ! I now understand that the categories must be
exported from the registry to all other users. Not a very neat solution if
you ask me.

There must be another way to categorize contacts that can be shared among
all users automatically?
