MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2007cant accept meeting requests
Windows XP, IBM Thinkpad, Windows 2003, Outlook 2003 (11.8118.8132) SP2 shared calendar with Principal; no longer can he accept meeting requests I send to him. Dont know why this stopped, and dont know how to fix. only professional help & experts need post replies; too many snippy comments received to previous replies. Reets p: 513-936-9400 f: 513-936-8400 What happens when he tries?  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

If you want professional help, then get out your wallet and contact microsoft product support services. However, many of the folks here are already IT professionals and are perfectly capable of answering your questions. And, by the way, your prior post did not elicit any wise cracks or other untowards responses. If you believe it did, then you need to contact a professional for assistance as these forums are obviously not the place to seek the kind of IT assistance you require.

I noticed on Microsofts Security Bulletin Summary page there are a few office critical updates for May KB934873, is it possible that this could be the culprit? > When you post to a public help forum, you do not get to dictate who replies, if anyone at all does.

Let me put it in your 'laymans' terms. Option #1 Reinstall outlook. This is EASILY done by being carefull. Save any pst files that he has somewhere safe, uninstall office, reinstall office. Hell, you can even just to a custom reinstall and just select outlook and nothing else. Option #2 Check the windows udpate code quoted by Milly. Hell, just google it. You'll find where they are. Option #3 Stop bagging people that try and help. If your original message had words to the effect of "sorry I am very undertrained when it comes to how this works and IT terms, so please put things simply so I can understand' then we all would have understood and been a bit more simple. Option #4 Put all the details of your problem first up. Eg. "My user is using outlook 2003. Up until today everything was fine, now when he goes to accept a meeting request, it won't let him. The buttons to accept, deny, propose are there but clicking them does nothing. ALSO there is a message that says "the meeting is not in the calendar. it may have been moved or deleted" I am having the exact same issue, and although I cannot give you a response so far, a correct first post will save you ( and us ) lots of time! :) Reets;7645240 Wrote: > Again, code used is not understood. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > updates for May KB934873, is it possible that this could be the > culprit? Signatureinvers Layman here: THANKS RE: Option 3 I have tried to be polite, and even spell things correctly and punctuate...I've noticed some people just dont care. RE: Option 4: as far as I know I had the details up front... according to the first post 5-25-09:03 am. Unless somebody changed the info I initially posted?? Again: excuse me for not being so Tech hands on. My job description is for an assistant, not some one trained in computer programming, or any other technical field. We have had tons, (literally every time I turn around) of problems and tech support was so expensive, including, importing contacts from *.pst file would import all the information: names, addresses, phone nos., except the email address! There were no email address on over two thousand contacts????? How in the world does that happen? Did that happen to you too? Invers, I dont know how you are viewing the groups and the web page and all, but I did have all the info in the first post. I hate to put you in your place. Thank you for the help.

Importing is fraught with problems. Never import from a PST. You lose data. Simply open the PST with File>Open>Outlook Data File and copy the information it contains to where you'd like it. SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks, I have 40/20 hindsight!

Simply open the PST with File>Open>Outlook Data File and copy the > information it contains to where you'd like it. Ok, my user rebooted overnight, came back in today and the issue has gone. However, other things you could try - clear free busy data (run outlook with the cleanfreebusy switch, that is, in the command prompt with outlook closed, run c:\program files\......(wherever your office and outlook is located)\outlook.exe /clearfreebusy - check that he hasn't by mistake delegated someone else to accept meeting requests on his behalf and in turn removed himself. :) Signatureinvers Thanks, oddly enough, it works today. Gary says he doent know what happen. Now I'm confused!? SignatureReets p: 513-936-9400 f: 513-936-8400 > Ok, my user rebooted overnight, came back in today and the issue has > gone.

What you have to do is quit Outlook, go into task manager and End Task on OUTLOOK and WINWORD and then start up Outlook again. This fixed the problem for me. now tell me, who put the crack in the reply about headscratching-I certainly did not add this. It seems that lately all I've been directed to do is go down a deeper black hole. In my job I am not literate to what tech language professional IT developers/Support personnel use. If you are going to speak to a layman, please use layman terms please, that's all I ask. Dont reply by sending me (mefjijeOffice 034) answers I do not understand. Someone without credentials listed, tells me to do this, but I dont want to change any emails, settings, contacts, there is just too much that can't be wiped out.
