MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2006How to get appointments to show up as "tentative" on shared calend
When we send appointments to shared calendars they show up for some reason as either "tentative" or "busy". Is there a way is outlook 2003 sp2, to set a default to "tentative"? Thanks. Outlook already works that way: Appointments should show as "busy" only if someone accepts them.

I'm testing this by sending an appointment to a few shared calendars as a delegate with the auto-accept appointments feature on. When I send an appointment, I will receive an email saying it was accepted, then a few minutes later it posts to the calendar. Some calendars will show as busy every time, others tentative and busy.

What is the same is the auto-accept is on, there is a delegate with editor permission on the calendar, and none of the calendars we are testing are being used. > None.

I know of only two methods I know of that will result in a Busy status for a meeting request: 1) Either a user manually accepts it 2) or an autoaccept script on the server accepts it.
