Categorizing meetings and tasks

[tostgulen]

Hi

I have created a code to send my meetings and tasks from Access to Outlook. My meetings and tasks are categorized in Access (etc. sales, courses, support, inquiries,...).

How do I get the categories from Access to Outlook? I followed this guide to create my code: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/...ad.php?t=31517


The categories are color coded in Outlook and will help me keep track with a quick glance at the calendar.

If this is Solved, do you care to share your solution with others that read this Forum?

To assign categories to tasks / meetings in Outlook you need to use the command (?), I'm not into the language definitions jet, .Categories. Here it the code i used:

.Categories = Me!KontaktKategori.Column(1)

In my Categories table I have an autonumber as primary key at the first column and the name I'm looking for is in the second column. Therefor the ".Column(1)" ending.

For this to work correctly, you need to define the categories in Outlook with the color you want and the same name as the categories in the Categoris table.
