flight itinerary appear as meeting request not appointment
"Ken" wrote in message
... From the users standpoint they receive a message (meeting request) with an attached .ics. Double clicking the .ics opens into a new calendar, side by side with their default Outlook calendar. They can drag the appt request that is on this new calendar over to their outlook calendar but prior versions just automatically added the appt request to their outlook calendarn. There may be some confusion here (partly mine). They just want things like travel schedules etc...to automatically be added to their calendar. They were used to how it worked in outlook 03 and 07 it doesn't work the same so that's the reason for the post. A meeting request and a mail message with an ICS attached aren't the same thing. A meeting request would go into the personal calendar by default. An attached ICS file should as well, but perhaps you and I are differing in our understanding what "personal" calendar means. I mean the delivery location Calendar. Plus I tested this on Outlook 2007 and 2003 yesterday and they both behaved the same for me. Opening an ICS file did not open a calendar window, but a new meeting window, which was stored in my delivery location Calendar folder when I clicked Save and Close. Is there any other information you can describe which might let someone reproduce the behavior? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

It's really not something your can repro at will - in my experience, it only
happens with some of the 'add to calendar' links that are generated on the fly when you make reservations. SP2 fixed a lot of calendar issues, so that should be installed, if its not installed already. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: How many email accounts are in your main Outlook profile? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=36602 "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...
