Was trying to find out if someone had a macro or could walk me through making
one that would allow me to auto-assign a category based upon specific text in
the subject of an calendar entry? I know about "Automatic Formatting" but it
only assigns a "color" not a category?

Thanks!

Forgot to mention that I am using Outlook 2007, though I think that is the
only version with this feature anyway?
 
autoformatting assigns a color category, but its view based, not permanently
part of the appointment. See outlookcode.com for code samples.
 
I know that autoformatting is view based, and not part of the appointment on
the calendar. What I want to be able to do is create an appointment that say
starts with "IMP:" and have a macro or rule or something read that and know
to add that appointment to the "Important" category. I have several like
that...so I want to be able to define categories based upon the intro "code"
in the name of an appointment and get the category of the appointment set, so
that if I view "By Category" it is in the appropriate list.

P.S. I've been to OutlookCode.com but all I see are examples for 2003 and
lower, I believe that 2007 changed how categories work?
