At home I synch my Outlook 2003 Calendar with my Nokia N70 and this works
fine.  However at work they do not allow us to connect our cellphones for
synch'ing so I find that any appointments booked at work in Outlook XP are a
pain because I have to manually add them to my cellphone.

At my previous company they used exchange server and you could add
"attendees" to your appointments.

Is there any way I could add my home email address/contact as an attendee to
my appointments booked at work, so that when I get home I can receive and
accept the invitation and thereby add it to my Outlook 2003 calendar and my
cellphone when I synch it?

Thank you in advance.
Sean.

There is no requirement for Exchange to implement what you want to do.
Simply create the appointment as usual, without your home account on it.
Send it out.  Once you do, open the appointment, add your home address,
double click it to ensure it is going out in Rich Text Format (Outlook
Properties) and send the update.  You should receive it at home and can
either save and close or send back an acceptance.   Doing it this way keeps
your address off of the original appointment.

If you receive an invite and want to add your home address to it, repeat the
steps but at home, just accept the appointment and elect to not send a
response to the meeting organizer.

Hi Milly,

Thank you for the response, I've done it with a test appointment and will
see how it comes through when I get to the office.

Kind Regards.
