Does anyone know if it is possible to see who 'accepts' a
meeting first, when there are multiple (optional)
attendees? I want to assign an appointment to several
sales people, and who ever accepts first, gets the
appointment. So I need to know who was first, to allow
the removal of the unsuccessful people.

On the tracking tab of the appointment, that shows who accepted, it should
show the date/time that acceptance was received.

Thanks Ben,
That's what I was hoping would happen, but it doesn't
seem to show this information. I was going to modify the
calendar form to see if that is a way around it.

I noticed that the accept/decline email that comes back
to the originator will show who responded first, but as
the appointment is being generated from a shared calendar
by any one of 7 people, there is the risk of someone
deleting the response emails. Limiting delete rights
isn't an option.

BTW - Exchange 2000 and Outlook XP are the tools being
used...

Whoops, it does show on voting button responses but apparently not on
meeting requests. My apologies.
