MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / April 2006Invitations not displaying accept/decline buttons
Am using Outlook 2002 and having problems with meeting invitations... It seems that Outlook isn't recognising them as invitations and so they appear just as regular emails with none of the buttons or formatting that invitations should have. The problem does seem to happen just periodically - it will be fine for a month or so, but then returns with a vengeance. I cannot think of anything that has changed on my computer that might be causing it, and nor can the person sending me the invites. Help would be most appreciated! Are you receiving the invites from people over the Internet? > Am using Outlook 2002 and having problems with meeting invitations...

The user sending the invitations creates an appointment in their calendar and clicks "invite attendees" to send invitations to other users. Is that what you mean? > Are the invites iCal items? > > >I have applied all relevant SPs... The user sending the invitations is also > > using Outlook.

Outlook 2003 is running on all machines, and some receive a bonafide email formatted as a Calendar Invite, and others get the ical info as garbled text in the body of a normal email. This problem is reported on this board every week. I've needed an answer to this an NO ONE is able to answer it on this board! So I lay down the challenge to anyone out there: CAN YOU ANSWER THIS OUTLOOK ISSUE? > Is the option to send iCal items checked here: Tools menu > Options > > Calendar [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > and clicks "invite attendees" to send invitations to other users.

Outlook 2003 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > OUTLOOK > ISSUE? Greetings everyone, I'm having the same problem with my clients. If a user (who is using outlook2003 in new york) sends a "meeting invitation" to another user (who is also using outlook2003 in California) he or she is not able to view the "accept, tentative, decline, or propose new time" buttons. instead, the invitation is sent as an email and not as a calander event. How does the user respond to the invite? please help! Regards, Chris > I don't have an answer yet. I haven't seen this happen myself so it's a bit > hard to diagnose...

I don't know the answer, but I've also experienced this and have some more clues that might help an MVP diagnose the problem. My wife routinely sends me iCal events from her Macintosh using MS Entourage. She sends it to two different email accounts: one is my work account and one is my personal account. I have two separate Outlook 2002 profiles set up on the same computer and therefore can receive this iCal invitation in each of these accounts, with the same Outlook installation, on the same computer. What is interesting is that from one account I receive the expected invitation with the opportunity to accept, decline, etc. From my personal account, however, the same email invitation comes accross without the options! The only differences between the two received iCal invitations is (1) a different Outlook profile, and (2) a different email server. One profile is set up for POP3 and the other is set up for MAPI. Any ideas? >Vince, I hope you don't mind if I jump in for the sake of the discussion: >Yes, iCal is enabled on both sending and receiving Outlooks.
