I have an interesting problem that I am really hoping someone has a good solution for. Context and issue:. I am using Outlook 2016 Exchange. I have access to a shared calendar (with editor rights).

The owner of the shared calendar has most meetings color-coded using categories. I would like the calendar I see to have a very different color scheme, using conditional formatting. Outlook won't apply conditional formatting if a category color is set. I cannot delete the category just on my version of the calendar (as far as I know - is that right?).
Hello and thanks for any help - I work in a corporate environment and a user is having an issue with oepning her bosses shared calendar. The boss sent the calendar out to several people and only one user had an issue with opening it. The Outlook calendar is part of the Outlook email system that also operates through the Microsoft Office package. You can use the virtual calendar to keep track of events and contacts and have it remind you of your appointments. If the calendar does not open, it could mean that a file is missing or corrupted.

Best idea I can come up with:. Make a copy of the shared calendar.
Delete all categories. Apply a view I have set with all the conditional formatting I want Problems with my idea:. I would have to repeat this at least once a week, which is annoying and time-consuming. In-week changes to the shared calendar would not be captured on my version of it Questions for the experts:. Is my approach the only/best way to accomplish this?. If it is, could a macro take care of all these steps, including deleting the previous copy, making a new copy, deleting categories (and reminders?) Any great ideas out there on this one? Much appreciated!
