My own calendar schedules...For multiple computers...how?

[Siryugi]

I own several computers. It seems that I can only use ONE computer to keep up
with my outlook calendar schedules. Why is that? Is there a way that I can
send an invite to myself so that i can accept my own invitation on several of
my remote laptops. I keep getting the message..."No response necessary. As a
meeting organizer, you do not have to respond to your meetings...But I want
the option to send invites to myself so I can keep a copy on all of my
compters.

As a meeting organizer, I want the option to respond to my own meetings from
multiple computers. Please help.

Setup another email address for yourself (maybe a Gmail or Hotmail one) then
send the invite to that address and get the mail item on the other machines.
You could even setup different addresses for each machine.

Why do you need to accept meeting from yourself? Send them with no response
necessary and add them to the calendar. You can also insert appointments
into email and send them to yourself then drag and drop them to another
calendar.

Forward the item as an ICS file to yourself and open the attachment on the
other PCs.

Use File>Copy to Folder instead of Save and Close.

the account with the live calendar needs to be set as default or you need to
move it to the folder - outlook will always add them to the default
calendar.

when you say copy to a folder, which folder and how do you do it ?

in the header of the email, one of the choices is "calendar" and i do not
see copy to a folder

Which folder? You're the one who said you want it to go to a different
calendar. Put it in the calendar you want it in.

in the header of the email, one of the choices is "calendar" and i do not
see copy to a folder

I said to OPEN the invitation. Then click File. Then click Copy to Folder
and specify as the destination the calendar folder where you want the
appointment to appear. You have all your calendars defined in Outlook,
correct?

this has nothing to do w outlook. the appt invite is being sent to hotmail
email. when i click on the "calendar" button in the email, the old style msn
calendar opens and the appt is added. this appt does not sync with the new
windows liveone calendar. this is all despite the fact that window liveone
calendar is my default calendar, ie if i am on the mymsn page and click
calendar, the windows liveone calendar is displayed.

appts added to windows live one page do sync w outlook.

i want the appt sent to a hotmail email to be auto added to a calendar that
syncs w outlook

this has nothing to do w outlook.

Then why ask in an Outlook newsgroup?

the appt invite is being sent to hotmail
email. when i click on the "calendar" button in the email, the old style
msn
calendar opens and the appt is added. this appt does not sync with the
new
windows liveone calendar. this is all despite the fact that window liveone
calendar is my default calendar, ie if i am on the mymsn page and click
calendar, the windows liveone calendar is displayed.

appts added to windows live one page do sync w outlook.

i want the appt sent to a hotmail email to be auto added to a calendar
that
syncs w outlook

Are you accessing Hotmail only via web or are you accessing it through
Outlook? If the former, I, for one, can't tell you have to do what you ask.
I don't use Hotmail calendars at all.
