I know that you can disable "Request Responses" in a meeting request so
invitees won't respond, but can I do the opposite? That is, can I "force"
them to respond to a meeting request, apart from creating a custom form?

Thanks in advance,

Steve Vincent

Yes, you can. It is called training, with consequences.

I guess I should have worded my question better. I realize you cannot force
a user to respond. What I meant to ask was, when a user *accepts* a meeting
request, is there a way to automate the reply so they don't have the option
to accept without sending a reply?

I like your 1st response!! What does training consist of? And what
consequences would you suggest?!! This would be in response to exactly the
opposite of the original question.... I cannot turn off request responses in
a public folder calendar and people insist on sending me responses!! I even
get "accept" or "decline" from WEEKS AFTER a meeting date!!!! Your list
of consequences would be much appreciated!! Thanks.
