OL2000: (CW) Meeting Cancellation and Update Messages Sent to Wrong Attendees

ID: Q222388

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 2000

NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate or Workgroup option. This option allows you to use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, on the Help Menu click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft Outlook you should see "Corporate or Workgroup" if you have the Corporate or Workgroup installation.

SYMPTOMS

When you update a meeting request by adding and deleting attendees, the attendees may receive the wrong update messages.

CAUSE

You invited members of a Distribution List (DL) to the meeting without expanding the list. Later, you expanded the list and made additions and deletions to the attendees.

RESOLUTION

Expand the DL before sending the initial meeting invitation; updates should then work correctly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

To Expand the Distribution List

In the Calendar folder, on the Action menu, click to select New Meeting Request.

On the Attendee Availability tab, click Invite Others.

Click to select a DL, click Required, and OK.

Click the small PLUS sign next to the DL name. This will expand the DL and display the individual members.

NOTE: You will not be able to compress the DL.
