I know that you can disable "Request Responses" in a meeting request so
invitees won't respond, but can I do the opposite?  That is, can I "force"
them to respond to a meeting request, apart from creating a custom form?

Thanks in advance,

How would you propose making their fingers click their mouse buttons to
force them to accept?

Yes, you can.  It is called training, with consequences.

I guess I should have worded my question better.  I realize you cannot force
a user to respond.  What I meant to ask was, when a user *accepts* a meeting
request, is there a way to automate the reply so they don't have the option
to accept without sending a reply?

I like your 1st response!!  What does training consist of?  And what
consequences would you suggest?!!  This would be in response to exactly the
opposite of the original question.... I cannot turn off request responses in
a public folder calendar and people insist on sending me responses!!  I even
get "accept" or "decline" from WEEKS AFTER a meeting date!!!!   :(  Your list
of consequences would be much appreciated!! :)  Thanks.
