appointments from Outlook

[mikey labs]

My associate has Office XP, and is inviting me to
appointments from Outlook. When I receive them, they are
all text, and i cannot accept them.
We use exchange 5.5 sp4 on a win NT sp6 server. it is
mostly happening when i send myself an appointment to my
home pc. it displays as test not as the form in outlook.

I am Running office XP on the home side and office 2000
pro at the office... with the exchange 5.5 in the middle

I have the same problem, My wife make appointments then
send them to my work and home PC. She is using Outlook
2000 and I have Outlook 2000 at work, the appointment
works properly. The Home PC is Outlook XP/2002 and it
comes in as text. It also work properly on my Apple just
not between Outlook 2000 at 2002/XP

If there's a reminder set on the appointment being sent, try removing
the reminder and then sending it again. There's a known issue with
sending appointments in iCalendar format from Outlook 2002 to Outlook
2000 when a reminder is set -- it results in the problem you described.

Well, if there is a know issue existing with the versions,
is there or has there been a fix issued for it?
I also beieve that it is a straight appointment. like i
create the appointment here and then i add my home address
to the list of invitetees. I get the error that way.

I don't know of any fixes for this one. The following MSKB article
discusses the issue and it only gives the workaround that I described.

You might also want to check to make sure that Outlook on the sender's
end is not set up to always send to you in Plain Text format. The
sender (whether it's you on your work machine, or your associate sending
you the request) should open your contact record, double-click your home
e-mail address, and see if it's set for plain text only.
