Automatically Add Buffer Time to Calendar Entries?

Hi,

Using Outlook 2007 on Vista against Exchange Server 2007.

Is there anyway to automatically add "buffer" time to calendar entry as 2
separate appointments (one before and one after) for calendar entries?

I get a lot of meeting requests and people tend to book me back to back with
zero time in between meetings and if one goes a little long it screws up all
the rest.  However, I don't want to have to go in and add each of these
appointment everytime I get a meeting request.  So ideally when a meeting
request comes in I would like to be able to accept and then somehow have 2
additional appointments created before and after for some set time period
(not sure how much but something like 15 minutes or so).

Anyone know how I might accomplish this?  Any add-on that might do it?

Thanks.

Alan

you'll need to create them yourself or install the live map addin and set up
'travel time' for the buffer.
