Meeting Request Compatibility: Outlook 2003 vs 2000
Hi,
I am hoping someone has dealt with this one already and might have an easy solution for me. I have checked the Microsoft Support KB and found nothing relevant there. I am using Office 2003, recently upgraded from Office 2000. My correspondent is still on Office 2000. When I create a meeting in Outlook Calendar and send a Meeting Request to my correspondent (i.e. created in Outlook 2003 and sent to Outlook 2000), the request is received as a plain e-mail message (see below) rather than being interpreted by Outlook 2000 as a meeting request and handled appropriately. This seems like a backward compatibility issue. Is there anyway to tweak Outlook 2003 to send Outlook 2000 compatible meeting requests, or to add compatibility to Outlook 2000 to handle Outlook 2003 meeting requests? Excerpt of Meeting Request (received as e-mail message): ---begin snip--- BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 11.0 MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:2.0 METHOD:REQUEST BEGIN:VEVENT ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;RSVP=TRUE:MAILTO:XXXXXXXXXXX ORGANIZER:MAILTO:XXXXXXXXXXX DTSTART:20040608T153000Z DTEND:20040608T200000Z LOCATION:XXXXXXXXXXX TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:1 UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000F0C8A8 07A549C4010000000000000000 100 00000D32FDD62CE5FE244B721E4AC536E51B9 DTSTAMP:20040604T184608Z DESCRIPTION:When: June 8\, 2004 9:30 AM-2:00 PM (GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada).\nWhe XXXXXXXXXX\n\n*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*\n\n\n SUMMARY:Updated: Computer Setup etc. PRIORITY:5 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 CLASS:PUBLIC BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER:-PT1440M ACTIONISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Reminder END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR ---end snip--- NB Prior to upgrading, Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2000 meeting requests worked for me. Subsequent to upgrading, Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2003 meeting requests work fine for me. Thanks in advance for any help given. Ian |

Meeting Request Compatibility: Outlook 2003 vs 2000
Don't include a reminder in the request you send from Outlook 2003. There's
also a hotfix for Outlook 2000 -- search the KB for "vCalendar compatibility." -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Ian" wrote in message ...
