annoying reminder tied to Palm events

[Chris Bailey]

I¹m running Mac OS X 10.4.2 with Office 2004 (all latest updates) and have a
Palm Treo 650. If I create an event on my Palm and it gets into Entourage
via HotSync, any time I edit such an event, I get the warning: ³You have
made changes to this invitation. If the organizer sends an updated meeting,
your changes will be lost.² This is good info to know ‹ but after seeing it
10,000 times, it¹s lost its noteworthiness. There seems to be no way to
suppress the message like other messages that have that ³do not show me
again² checkbox. This message never crops up if I created the event in
Entourage to start with (even if it has since been copied to the Palm by
HotSync and edited there).

I¹ve had this problem ever since I got Office 2004, back when I was using a
Palm Tungsten C and Mac OS X 10.3, so it¹s not related to the Treo or a bug
in the new Mac operating system. Anybody know how to get this nuisance gone?

I have the same problem. I have no idea how to get rid of it. It's
bothersome only insofar as I never invited anyone to those events in the
first place, so I don't know why Entourage believes that there are other
recipients to whom the original scheduled item was sent.

It's a bug in Entourage 2004 related to all events made "programmatically" -
by Palm, AppleScript, or import via File/Import/from a program. You'll find
you also can't send these same events as invitations - Entourage seems to
think they _are_ received invitations already.

It's something I think you could have a reasonable hope might be fixed in
the forthcoming update. We'll know when it comes out...
