Outlook 2007: meeting request--multiple time options
 

Is there a way to send out a meeting request to a list of people for several
time options, as to where the
recipients can "accept" the meeting for the specific date/time they desire
from the list? Thanks in advance

You could certainly create each of the multiple events and then attach them
to a mail message asking the recipients to choose one.

Outlook 2007: meeting request--multiple time options
 

This gives each mail recipient the option to invite attendees, etc., for
each attached meeting. It doesn't, however, give them the option to accept
or decline, when they open attachments. What I need is to be able to invite
multiple attendees, and have them simply accept the correct time slot and
have it scheduled in the calendar. Thanks for trying, though. Does anyone
know how to do this?

It does what you asked. All they have to do is to open the one they wish to
have it added to their calendars. You never said that you wanted
notification of their acceptance.

Just to jump in on the thread - what good does it do for people to be
able to make a choice between meeting dates if the sender does not
know of the recipient's decision? I understand MS feels that everyone
should be on an exchange network and actually use the calendar feature
with Outlook, but some old dogs are not going to learn new tricks. We
want to be able to poll for a meeting time that works best - cannot
use Voting Buttons since you cannot make multiple selections. Are
there any other solutions? If not, we will just continue to use the
full functionality of the Exchange Server and Outlook to send text
emails.
