MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / October 2004Outlook 2003 only sends email meeting invitations to 2000.
I have outlook 2003. I can schedule meetings fine with everyone inside my company, Outlook 2000 & 2003 in use. However, when I try to schedule a meeting with someone outside the company all they receive is an email. There is no meeting request that they can reply to, or update their calendar with. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions related to reminders on meeting requests sent in iCalendar (aka iCal) format. To resolve this issue, do one of the following: -- Contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the Outlook 2000 post-SP3 hotfix described in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199 -- Tell the senders to remove any reminder before sending an iCal meeting request. -- Tell the senders to use native Outlook meeting request (RTF) format, not as iCal.

Thanks Sue, but I'm not using ical (in fact it's grayed out. I can receive from 2000 but they only get an email from me. >-----Original Message----- >There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >. Just because iCal is greyed out doesn't mean you're not using it. In fact, that means that you have Exchange as your only email service. What version of Exchange?

When he sends me a meeting request I receive the meeting.ics attachment and everything works fine. When I receive an internal meeting request I receive a .vcs message or an email that I can accept or reject the meeting. I only have a problem sending to outlook 2000 external to my company. >-----Original Message----- >Just because iCal is greyed out doesn't mean you're not using it.

HI Sue, our Exchange servers are 2003. >-----Original Message----- >But what version of Exchange server? It's relevant. [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] > >. In that case, Exchange most likely is converting your meeting requests to iCalendar. (You should be able to test this for yourself if you invite yourself to a meeting by sending to some outside account that you can access with Outlook Express, so you can see the entire raw message.) Try the simplest fix I suggested -- omit the reminder when sending a meeting request outside your company.
