Propose New Time

[Al Swearengen]

Hi,

We are using Windows XP Professional with Office 2003 and Outlook 2003 with
internet mail.

In Outlook when sending meeting invites everyone in the office has the
option to "Propose New Time" except one person. This person happens to be
the owner of the company. The button is grayed out in the calendar and in
the email it doesn't appear at all. He gets the other options to Accept and
Decline, but no Propose New Time option. Does anyone know what would cause
this?

Thanks.

What differences in his mail setup show up when you compare someone who has
this option and the owner?

None that I could find. Everybody is supposed to be using the same
settings. He said that the problem started a few days ago, but claims that
he didn't mess with any settings. I'm toying with the idea of exporting his
settings and importing them onto another machine and using a test email
account to see if the problem follows the settings. If so then I can
troubleshoot without tying up his computer. If it's not his settings then I
suspect that maybe his outlook application got corrupted somehow. I'm
fairly new to Office 2003 that's why I posted this problem here to see if
anyone else has seen something similar. Thanks for the response.
