Default Delegate cannot cancel a meeting which they created

Thank you for the response Nikki. The user already sent out an e-mail to all
recipients advising that the meeting was cancelled. However since this is
not the first time it has happenned to her, I will forward your advice for
the next time. :-)

Thanx again.

Just a guess here but, I would bet money that the Delegate really used
her own calendar to book the appointment. If she opens the meeting
on her own calendar, does she get the option to cancel the meeting?

To find who the TRUE organizer is of the appointment use the following:

Change the Calendar View to "By Category"
Add the field called "Organizer" to the view
You can do this in the Customize Views

or

Change the Calendar View to "By Category"
Right-Click the Header field (Where is has Subject, Location, Start, End,
etc.)
Select "Field Chooser"
Find "Organizer" field by selecting ALL APPOINTMENT fields,
then scroll down
Drag and drop the Organizer field onto the header bar where you
want to see it.

Now find the appointment and see who the true Organizer is.

I am not sure if this is a fluke, but I have received a report from a user
that they cannot cancel a meeting which they created.

The situation is that the user has delegated access to their manager's
calendar. They created a meeting in that manager's calendar on his behalf,
and invited a distribution list. The manager is also a member of that
distribution list, so he received and accepted the invite. Now the delegate
wants to cancel the meeting, but does see the option to Cancel under the
Actions menu.

Has anyone else seen anything like this? It is almost as once the manager
accepted the invite his role changed from organizer to attendee and
subsequently his delegate was also an attendee.
