MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / January 2006meeting requests seens as text message
For years I have been unable to accept meeting request from family or work computers. They are always seen as a text message. I can send them meetings, they can accept/decline, but their response is also received as a text message. I assumed that it was because they had Office XP & I still had Office 2000. I recently tried (& removed) an upgrade to Office 2003, but that did not fix the problem. all request are received/sent over the internet Per past postings: No reminders checked iCal unchecked on mine & theirs I cleared my forms cache I have SP-1, SP-2 & SP-3 installed Outlook 2000 SP-3 9.0.0.6627, IMO - Security Update Windows XP Pro ver 2, SP 2002 thanks Just checked, meeting requests sent from my kids' computer, also with Outlook 2000, are seen as a calendar appointment in my OL 2000. > For years I have been unable to accept meeting request from family or > work computers.

Changing mine to iCal has no effect. What does the text you receive from others look like? Is it an iCal? > husband is on network and iCal is greyed out in his options, so he can > not change. Changing mine to iCal has no effect. I'm not sure? It just comes as a message: If I send out a meeting request, it looks like a calendar appt to the recipient & they can accept/deny like normal. Any meeting requests sent to me or deny/accepts sent to me come in an email (does not have the calendar icon in the Inbox) and look like below. "Subject: Test When: Monday, January 09, 2006 9:30 PM-10:00 PM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada). Where: *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" Hmmm, that's not an iCal message. Send me an invite to something. I'm curious how it comes across. > I'm not sure? > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" I guessed at your full email & sent to test appointments. One with iCal, one w/o. When I sent test appointments to others earlier in iCal, the recipients did not receive an appt. as before, they too received a text email. Please let me know if you do not receive. Thanks. I got both and they looked like meeting requests. One from 2-2:30 and one from 2:30-3:00. I'm accepting them now. See what makes its way back to you >I guessed at your full email & sent to test appointments. One with > iCal, one w/o.

O.K. Yours came back as an appt. I downloaded SP1-3 & cleared the cache on Sun. I only ran a test with my husband. I just checked with my office (OLXP). It works with theirs now, too. Still does not work with my husbands OLXP. I still get text messages from him, although he gets appts from me. I will investigate the setting on his computer & network. Thanks for your help. > Still does not work with my husbands OLXP. I still get text messages > from him, although he gets appts from me. I will investigate the > setting on his computer & network. Thanks for your help. Is he adding your name as a recipient from his Contacts? If so, have him open your Contacts record and double-click on the email address. Examine the drop-down at the bottom of that window. If it shows "Send plain text only", that's the problem.  SignatureBrian Tillman
