Meeting request in Outllook cannot be read in Gmail Calendar
 

Hello Francisco,

Here's what I did:
1. I opened a meeting request in Outlook 2007. I'm using an exchange server.
2. I addressed it normally, etc...
3. This is the key Instead of sending, I clicked "Forward as icalender"
(this is the bottom selection on the forward button)
3. Sent it to my gmail account.
4. When I opened it in gmail, I saw a "Going? yes | no | maybe" control.
5. I clicked yes and gmail sent an acceptance response back to Outlook.

There may be a way to write a macro to do this automatically (if the To
control contains a gmail address, add an ICS attachment to the meeting) if
you want to dive into VBA. If not, this little workaround may help.

Thanks,

What type of email account do you have configured? If the address is
configured for 'let outlook decide', and outlook is configured to html for
internet addresses, it should convert the meeting request to an ical
automatically.
