Copy entry loses label colour

I have two calendars - a private one in my personal folder and a business one
in my exchange folder which others can view. My business calendar is a
subset of my private calendar entries. (I need two diaries as others I share
with are not on my exchange server and my private diary is shared with them
using workgroupshare.)

I use a view I have defined to filter my private calendar to only select
business entries and then copy this to the business calendar (deleting the
all the entries before I copy the new set over).

The entries all copy across fine except those that have invitations to or
from others - in which case the label colour changes from what it was set in
my private calendar to none in my business calendar.

Any suggestions?
 
Are you using labels or views for the color?

Labels colors should copy if you have both calendars open in the pst but
custom descriptions (ie, changing Important to something else) are per
folder.

Is the same view available on the business calendar? what are the
autoformatting rules for the color?
 
Colour is specified in labels but also in automatic formatting if no colour
has been specified in the label based on the category set.

If a block of entries are copied from one calendar to the other, ONLY the
entries which have invitees in them are affected - ALL other entries copy
perfectly.

Specifically, if colour label is set in private calendar and the entry has
invitees when it is copied to my business calendar the colour label is
CHANGED to none.

the view should still work - but it may need copied and set for the folder
for everyone.

Thanks - one would think it should work - but doesnt only not sure if its a
bug or a problem with my setup.

It only happens with appointments that have other attendees on the invite
list - the label in the private calendar has a colour and when copied it is
lost.
