I recently transferred my data file from a pre-2003 format file to a 2003
format file. Everything seems to have transferred successfully except for
categories.

How do I transfer categories?

Thank you.

You mean the categories are stripped from the items?
Which method of transferring did you use?

With Outlook 2003 the Master Category list is kept in the registry so your
actions should have no impact on the available categories in Outlook. If you
made the transfer from within Outlook, then all the categories will be kept
as well.

If you still have the original pre-2003 pst-file then you can migrate to the
new file format in the way discussed here;

Yes, that's what I mean.

I created a new Personal Folder file, set it as the default, exited Outlook,
restarted Outlook and then inported from my original pst file. I believe
this was the method described in the help file.

Thanks for your response.

Don't use the import feature, simply move the items within Outlook. Your
categories will be kept then. Details are in the link I gave you in my
previous post.
