I have been using color categories in Outlook 2007 Contacts for years. For some unknown reason, everytime I close Outlook and re-open, the color categories are gone.



I can go to the Properties of the Personal Files folder and "Upgrade to color categories" and they all come back in my existing contacts and as an option for creating a new contact. But once I close and re-open Outlook, they are gone again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Start by repairing Office 2007. If that doesn't fix it, no guarantees but, the following might. Right click the Outlook shortcut in the start menu and select Run as Administrator - even if you are already the administrator. Then make the required changes. Restart normally and see if the changes hold.
