Diane,

Thank you, that works great! (I had to add an End If before the End Sub,
though ;-) I notice that it enters a Tentative appointment on the calendar
and doesn't generate a reply, and with cancellations, it leaves the appt on
the calendar, although it's marked "Cancelled". But these are probably good
things -- too much automation would leave me flying blind and not noticing
the changes to my calendar.

Thanks again! Your code was right on the money.

yes, create a rule looking for meeting requests and use run a script as the
action.

place this code in ThisOutlookSession and use it for the script.

Sub AutoAcceptMeetings(oRequest As MeetingItem)

If oRequest.MessageClass "IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request" Then
Exit Sub

Dim oAppt As AppointmentItem
Set oAppt = oRequest.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)

Dim oResponse
Set oResponse = oAppt.Respond(olMeetingAccepted, True)
oResponse.Display

End Sub

In Outlook 2003, can I set up rules to automatically accept meeting
requests
from specific individuals? And another question: can I set up a rule to
automatically remove appointments from a meeting cancellation?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
