MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / June 2005send appointment in CC without adding it to their calendar
I often need to create an appointment and inform others of it, without having it added to their calendars.

Send them the announcement in a mail message, not as an appointment.

None of the above. I'd use: 1) Actions | Forward as iCalendar 2) Dear <person not invited>, I didn't include you on the meeting request but thought you'd want to have the information on this meeting anyway. You can add it to your Outlook calendar by opening it and clicking Save. 3) Address and send.

Why can't you agree that ONE step would be more intuitive?? I was posting a feature request, to make outlook "even more" usable. Thanks for your work-around anyways. I'm just not into doing "manual" work, if the computer can do it for me.
