MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / December 2007How to schedule a meeting without sending an invitation
In Outlook 2007 beta, I'd like to link meetings with contacts. But the only way I see to do this is by sending invitations to the meeting, which I don't want to do (all of my meetings are with persons outside my organization). So how can I (from calendar and/or contacts) schedule a meeting and have it linked to a contact (to track activity) without sending out a meeting invitation? Thanks! -Mike In Outlook 2007 Beta 2, the Contacts box for linking items to contacts does not appear by default. You will need to turn it on -- Tools | Options | Contact Options | Show Contact Activity Information on All Forms. If, like me, you think that this is the wrong choice for the default option and that some users will perceive this as a data loss, you might want to provide feedback to Microsoft using the Send a Smile tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A2E1F4E2-BC0F-4403-B09F -7A677D55F274. This tool will transmit your comments and a screenshot back to Microsoft.

That took care of how I normally schedule meetings (directly from the calendar). Is there a way to create meeting directly from the contact pane? Same problem here; I see only an option to send an invitation, and not to calendar a meeting outright. -Mike > In Outlook 2007 Beta 2, the Contacts box for linking items to contacts does not appear by default.

Another one worth sending a "send a frown" report on.
