Hi peers. How can I automatically forward each and every appointment
to a certain mailaddress right after I created it? Rules seem to be
applicable to emails only, so how can I do this for appointments? TIA

A rule using the "uses the _form name_ form" condition, specifying the
Appointment form should work. Uss the "Cc the message to _people or
distribution list_" and "stop processing more rules" actions.

Now, I created such a rule in Outlook 2003 and 2007. However, it has
no effect on an appointment that I created afterwards. Maybe I was not
clear enough that I'd like every new appointment to be automatically
forwarded to someone (instead of manually inviting the one to take
part in the appointment). Anyway, many thanks for your idea. Aristide

Rules won't fire on appointments, only meeting requests. Unfortunately,
there isn't a forward option on after sending rules, only cc and that adds
the address in the rule as optional.

You could use VBA though.
