Inviting new attendee to existing meeting without cancelling meeti
I thought I was following the directions for MS Outlook 2007 for attending an
attendee to existing meeting and sending the update only to that attendee - my understanding was that I should add the new attendee, then unchecked the other attendees on the "Scheduling" tab. This prompted the message "send only to new attendee" (or something along that line), which is what I wanted to happen. After I sent it to only the new attendee, I saw in my "Sent" box that I had CANCELLED the meeting for the other attendees! I certainly did not intend to do that! What is a better way to add attendees and not send the update to all without resulting in a meeting cancellation! Thanks so much for your help! |

Inviting new attendee to existing meeting without cancelling meeti
Try forwarding the request next time (it works if an attendee forwards, not
sure about organizer) or add the new member but keep the existing ones checked - outlook should ask who to send updates to. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Poll: What version of Outlook do you use? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=27072 "dj" wrote in message ...

Inviting new attendee to existing meeting without cancelling meeti
I ran into exactly the same problem a couple of months ago. I followed the
directions from Outlook help (which links to the msoutlook.info blog), which said to do what you described, and it deleted my meeting too. I contacted Robert (aka Roady), the blog owner, and he contacted Outlook about it. Apparently the instructions on his blog - which has been linked to, and therefore supposedly endorsed by, MS - are not how the feature is supposed to work. The feedback he got from MS was that you should add the new people to the meeting, then when you save, it will prompt you and you can send it only to the newly added people. This doesn't explain why their help system says to do exactly what you described, but hopefully they will update help to give the correct instructions. I know this isn't too helpful, but at least know you're not alone! (And thanks again to Roady for his help in contacting MS to figure out the problem!)
