In Outlook 2000 when receiving an invitation to a meeting, which was
generated from Outlook 2003, all header information is in the email body.
Buried somewhere is the message. There are no options to accept or decline
the invitation. This does not seem to happen in any other version. Does
anyone know how to fix this?

There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions
related to reminders on meeting requests sent in iCalendar (aka iCal)
format. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

-- Contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the Outlook 2000
post-SP3 hotfix described in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199

-- Tell the senders to remove any reminder before sending you an iCal
meeting request.

-- Tell the senders to send to you in native Outlook meeting request (RTF)
format, not as iCal.

Thanks Sue,
I am going now to view the article and download the fix. I will post here if
I have further problems. Can you help me with another problem. I posted it in
general questions and installation. Below is the text of a similar post. This
is on another computer with Outlook XP. fonts in dialog boxes are so large I
can't see things like SMPT and POP servers when setting up an account. My
post is dated 2/9/05 titled dialog box font size in
microsoft.public.outlook.installation discussion group

Thanks
Steve

Not as yet. This is frustrating - to say the least. I will be using Outlook
2006 before I figure it out...LOL! I will post a reply if I learn
anything....thanks.
