I have a client that is using a public folder for her
Contacts. She is using Office XP and Exchange 2000. The
entire firm uses these contacts and they need to sort
them by categories. The issue is that they can't add
contacts to other users defined categories even though
they can see them.

Is there a way to make some categories for public use?
 
The master Category list is part of each user's Windows registry. Users can see what categories other users have put on items, but don't know what categories the other users have on their master lists. The best solution in a public folder is to enforce category selection through a custom form. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.htm for more info.
