MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / January 2005Can you hide meeting attendees
Hello, Is it at all possible to send out a meeting invite without disclosing the attendees to everyone? A bit like BCC-ing an e-mail. We want to schedule a 'surprise' meeting where people can't see who else is invited. We're using Office 2000 & XP on Exchange 5.5 and 2003. Appreciate your help and comments Create an appointment in your own calendar, but invite no one. Then forward the appointment to each person as an individual message or a group message with the names in the Bcc box.

If I forward the meeting, the users get an e-mail with the meeting as an attachment. They can't accept this, only copy to their Calendar. I then can't see in the original meeting who has accepted... If I update the meeting with new attendees and then select to send the update only to deleted and added attendees, the following happens. In the invite, they will see all attendees, but in the actual meeting only the ones that have been added and send the invite to in that change. So by adding people to a meeting we're halfway there, but the meeting invite still shows all attendees. Hope you can help. Martyn. > Create an appointment in your own calendar, but invite no one.

I don't follow what you're saying in the last sentence. There seem to be some words missing. If you don't want anyone to know that anyone else is invited *and* you want to track responses, this won't work. Basically, you can't both track responses and have attendees know nothing about who else is invited.

Many thanks for your help on this one. Martyn. |
