Adding voting buttons to Calendar Event
 

Is there a way that I can send an Outlook Calendar Appointment and include
voting buttons? I send out invitations for luncheons where I want the item
going to their calendar but I also want them to be able to make a choice of
what they want to order for lunch. I can send a regular Outlook message with
voting buttons but I have to send a seperate Calendar appointment to get it
on their calendar. Too much confusion sending two. Does have an answer?

No, that's not possible. The solution is the one you've already found -- send
two messages.

There is another option.

Send the appointment item as an attachment in the e-mail and then include
the voting buttons in the mail message.

Instruct the users to double-click on the appointment item to add it to
their calendar and then use the voting buttons to respond to the menu
choices.

Milly, in that solution, original meeting organizer wouldn't get
acceptances/rejections, would they -- just the voting button responses?

If they send a meeting request, they would get acceptances. They would not
have a list of attendees on the appointment though - so they wouldn't see
who hadn't accepted (or declined) yet.
