How to clear categories

In OL 2003, from a rule, I'm trying to run a script:



Sub ClearCategories(ObjMsg As Outlook.MailItem)
ObjMsg.Categories = ""
ObjMsg.Save


End Sub




I know that the rule is running, but the Categories are not being cleared.


Any idea what I'm doing wrong?



Thanks, Don Williams
 
Is the script being called? Place a MsgBox in that macro to verify that it's

running.

I added msgbox to prove that script was being executed. It was, but now the categories are getting cleared. That obviously implies that previously it was not getting executed, but I don't have a clue why. Regardless, it works now; so thanks.
