Outlook 2007 can't save meeting request without sending out updates

[AXJ]

Hi all

I just migrated from Outlook 2003 to 2007. First problem I encountered was
meeting requests.

After a meeting request was created and sent to all our attendees, I want to
add note to that meeting on my calendar but I don't want other attendees to
get the note I am saving. In Outlook 2003, it was a breeze. It lets me save
the note without forcing me to send update. Without Outlook 2007, it is not
possible. Of course, maybe I am doing something wrong but... anyone know if
it's possible? If so, how?

Thanks!

Just hit ESC after you are done editing.

Try this:

Hit save. Answer don't save but keep open. Click x to close. Chose the
close, no update option. Open the meeting - it should have the update on it.

I assume you've tried this? If so, what are the exact steps? Just hitting
ESC does not save it.

Pick "Save changes but don't send" from the options offered

So you just hit ESC after editing the message body and you get a dialog that
says Save but don't send?

My choices are Save and Send Updates and Don't Save - see
http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/ESC/ESC.html. I hit ESC the first time
(twice actually since I'm editing by pasting) - no save but don't send
dialog.

Are you editing anything besides the notes?. If I edit the time or
subject, or location, then I/you have to "crash" out using the "X"

It works.... I click the save icon on title bar and click the X to close the
dialog box. OL2007 really has made my scheduling a bit trickier.

Nope. I'm not doing anything funky. It's apparently a difference in how
Outlook works on Vista and WinXP - I can repro it every time on Vista and it
works as expected on XP. There are two bugs - one that the dialog says don't
save but it does and another when after some time has passed, editing and
closing with the x brings up the dialog. Ok, 3 bugs - that it works
differently on xp and vista.
