Exchange/Outlook calendar question...

[jharrison]

Hi all,

On our network we use Exchange 5.5 and Outlook 98 on Windows NT SP3 and SP4. Outlook is set to deliver to the users mailboxes, not personal folders, although those are made available for them to utilize.

I have a user who has access to another users calendar. Many others have access to this same calendar as well. She has found that when she creates and sends out meeting requests, if she sends it to anyone whose calendar is shared, the request not only goes to the person to whom it was sent but also to the people to whom the calendar is shared. She doesn't put their names in the meeting request at all. Outlook just automatically sends the request to all of the people who have the ability to view another person's calendar.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is there a way to stop this? Does Microsoft consider this a feature or a bug? Any help would be great!

Try Lotus Notes R5. My company uses it and the calender part works the way you want.

No the calender is still wrong on Lotus Notes.. because april 1st.. in the to do task section is.. WRONG..

Going back to your question.. If each individual is setup as a delegate for the individuals calendar.. then they will be able to view the calendar.. but not receive email to that specific mailbox.. The only ways this can happen is if she is sending it to a DL that has all those users in it.. or office assistant or exchange server is forwarding this mail to the other users.. therefore if you have ONLY calendar selected and NOT.. mailbox as well then it should be okay

I was actually told that if each person is setup as a delegate this is what could be causing the problem. I was told to make sure that no one is setup as a delegate and just share the calendar. Sound right?
