Outlook 2003 Meeting Request Problem

Hi all,

I am working with Outlook 2003.

I have created a custom appointment form. The form is
published to the organizational forms folder.

My problem occurs when User A fills in all the fields
(custom and standard) in a new appointment form, which is
created in User A's calendar and invites User B to this
meeting.

When User B open User B's inbox, and opens the Meeting
Request...

Problem 1: the data in the custom fields are gone
Problem 2: the scripts are not running.

I have enabled the Advanced Option to ALLOW SCRIPTS IN
SHARED FOLDERS.

Is the problem related to this?

Ok.

I think I have narrowed down my problem.

First: On User B's folder, I discovered that my custom
fields were not there, so I added them to User B's folder.

Second: I realized that I had to catch the Item_Send event
to populate my custom fields. I orginally only populated
my custom fields on the Item_Write event. I guess Outlook
sends the message request, before it writes the
appointment.

But I still have one final problem... my scripts do not
run, when I open the Meeting Request in User B's inbox.

I have enabled RUN SCRIPTS IN SHARED FOLDERS in the
advanced options.. so I am not sure what else I need to do.

Do I need to create a custom message request?

Thanks for any help.

Ok.

I think I found the problem, Microsoft wrote about it here:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321690

But I am not sure what they mean in their Workaround:

"You can create a custom Message form solution that
simulates a MeetingRequestItem or a TaskRequestItem.
Create a custom Message form that contains modifications
that, when they are received, simulate a
MeetingRequestItem or TaskRequestItem."

Anyone have any ideas?
