Hi Everyone,

I'm looking find an authoritive answer about an Outlook 2003 problem which
some of our users are experiencing.

When a meeting recipient looks at their calendar, they are able to move
their copy of the appointment to a different time without anyone else
involved in the meeting knowing about it.

(I know recipients can 'suggest new time' but they're not doing this -
they're just dragging their copy of the meeting around)

We're all in cached mode.

My questions:
(i) Is this correct?
(ii) Is it documented in a knowledgebase article (or similar)?
(iii) Is there a way of 'locking down' their ability to do this?

Thanks!

I wonder what the motivation for doing this is.  Since they didn't organize
the meeting, why would they move it?

I think so.

I would think it intuitive.  If it's on my calendar, it's my data and I can
do with it as I please.

I don't think so.  If it's on a person's calendar, s/he owns it.  You can't
lock something away from the owner.
