Color coding is not appearing in shared Outlook 2007 calendar.

My co-workers and I share our calendars with a larger group of co-workers. The color-coding on my calendar and on Friend A's calendar appears at it should when other co-workers view our shared calendars. But, the color coding on Friend B's calendar does not show up when other people view her calendar, though it shows up on her computer.

We have compared settings, computers of other employees, procedures, everything we can possibly think of while trying to figure out why her colors don't show up when her calender is shared, but we can come up with nothing.

I tried to Google, but didn't come up with much, except some answers from some lady who answers this same question on several message boards by linking to this site. It is not a solution to this particular problem though.

Can anyone think of settings or something we might be missing? Thank you.

This happens in my Outlook, too, but in this case it has to do with my using Outlook 2007 and everyone else using 2003. They can all see each other's color coding (and I can see theirs) but any color coding that I do does not show up on their calendars. Does that help?

Response by poster: We are all using 2007. All of our computers were imaged from the same disc.

Best answer: In my experience, you need to set the colors as well as the name of the colors exactly the same on each computer in order for the setting to transfer over.

Computer one:

Pink - ZoMg Boss

Other computers:

You have to set Pink to ZoMg Boss, case sensitive.

For the categories to display correctly, each color category used has to be set up this way.
