Updated Meeting Requests - Outlook 2003

[jollyvenus]

I have a user that receives an updated reocurring meeting request and can not
accept or decline it. The banner in the appt shows the appt is not on the
calendar, it may have been removed or deleted. However, I can open the users
mailbox from my PC and accept the appt for him without issue.

User is Windows XP, SP2, Office 2003, SP2.

Any suggestions?

We are having the identical issue since the 27th. It only affects a couple of users,but those affected cannot accept or decline meeting requests. Like Jollyvenu I can login to the mailbox from another PC and have no trouble accepting the invitation.

Hundreds of messages are posted to microsoft.public.office.misc each day.
"Same problem here" might refer to any of a number of messages.

If you could fully articulate the problem you're having--or respond in the
thread [apparently] begun by the other person, or at the very least quote
enough of the original message so we could see what we're dealing with--then
someone might be able to take a stab at trying to help fix it.

Please say which version(s) of the software you're using, as well, since
that can make a different in how one would go about troubleshooting the
problem.

I'm almost afraid to ask... there used to be a computer store called
Egghead, which filed for bankruptcy in 2001.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

I've noticed that too. It sure doesn't help us to help them, does it?

And a lousy one that does not show quoted threads at that. I skip them whenever possible and have tried killfiling them... we will see how that works.

Problem is, they don't realise that they are posting to a Usenet newsgroup
rather than a forum run by EggHeadCafe - and Egghead don't tell them.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

That part bothers me too but I can't put the blame on the poster. Maybe they
just don't know about using a newsreader. (I'm trying to give them the
benefit of the doubt. I don't always do that but I'm trying.)
