UPDATE 1. I couldnt get Digical to synchronise appointment colours (via Categories). 2. So I am trying Deja Office. Off to a TERRIBLE start though as DejaCalendar via Companion Link has managed to *erase *all the existing Categories on all my existing appointments on Outlook!
Deja is a leviathan of an application - i.e. it is extremely ambitious in its scope (hence the high price). All I want to do is sync colours on my Appointments! Deja seems pretty clunky, with everything looking pretty oldfashioned and lots of the defaults being horrible. It also got a fair number of terrible reviews (for sync failures etc) on Amazon but I couldn't find an alternative app in the time available so I have gone with it for now. And finally I do now have appointment colours going from PC to Android and back. Phew! J On Wednesday, 21 October 2015 11:04:10 UTC+1, John .
