Cannot open meeting requests

[SJN]

I am having a major problem with different versions of MS
Outlook. We have many buildings around the world with
different versions 2000,2002,2003,XP. It is not practical
to roll out the same version on every PC worldwide. The
problem occurs when a meeting request is sent to a
different version of Outlook, where the user cannot see
the attached meeting request or it displays a message
saying it cannot open attachment. Is there a patch or
regedit, which will integrate the different versions of
Outlook, enabling users to send and open meeting requests?
Any suggestions appriciated!

Are all users using Exchange exclusively?

In my building, we are experiencing the same problem as
well as our sister building. To keep it simply in our
building we are all connected the same Exchange server
5.5 v 4.
We have Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003 and XP. The problem
arises when a user sends a Meeting request to another
user using a different version of outlook. Some times the
user receiving the request can't see it other times they
can the attached meeting request however can't open it..

Please suggest a way forward,

Many thanks..

When you say "the user receiving the request can't see it," do you mean that
they see nothing or that they see something other than a meeting request?
And the people who can't open it, what happens when they try?
