Hello,
I am a high school student trying to use Outlook 2003 (with an
exchange server) to organize my schedule and tasks together (e-mail
too, but that's not what I have problems with). I am using a
'category' for each class, and I am trying to 'link' different types
of outlook objects based on their respective category. For example, I
have the category 'science', which both a scheduled event and two
tasks might point to (meaning they both are specified as 'science' in
the category field).

I don't know if categories are the appropriate way to do this but my
final goal is to have a generated folder or list (for each class) that
automatically contains every task and scheduled event under that
class' category. Right now, the only way to do this is to use and
advanced search under the specific category (which generates a list of
all items under 'science'). This works, but I am looking for a more
permanent solution, where I don't have to search every time. I don't
really care how it is done (if it involves categories or not), but I
conceptually want to connect multiple types of items by a common
class. This way I can view a summary of the work needed to be done for
that class at any time.

Ideally an answer would include
1. Whether or not it is possible to group multiple types of outlook
items based on a common factor (which class they belong to in my
case).
and...
How one could generate permanent and automated views by this same
factor (whether it be a folder for that class or something else) so
that I can quickly see all items linked to it.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick
