Works 6: Calendar Category Names Are Incorrect

When you use a Microsoft Works 6 Calendar database with Microsoft Works 2000 Calendar, the category names may change, but the event occurrence is correct.

To work around this issue, rename the categories after they are incorporated into Works 2000.

The Works 2000 Calendar category ID does not map the same way to its category names that Works 6 Calendar category ID maps to its category names.
