How do I add an attendee to a meeting without emailing all attend.

M

mlong

I need to add one person to a meeting, but would prefer to just send the
invitation to him rather than sending an update to the entire group. Is this
possible, and if so, how does one do that?

Thanks!

Add the person, select the option to send, and you will be given the option to only send to the updated person.

Usually, when I add a person to a meeting invite after the initial one has
gone out, the only way to get teh option to send 'only to added or deleted'
is to do a 'save and close' to get the prompt. too often lately I do not get
this option and to add the new person, I have to send the meeitn invite out
to everyone. It sounds pretty buggy to me. This is even worse when adding
someone when a request is accepted to change the meeting time by one of the
invitees. When they respond, the meeting tracking is NOT updated.

Are you using the live map add-in? does it work if you restart outlook? Just
because the person who asked the original question uses outlook 2007 doesn't
mean its limited to that version.

I also had this problem. I used to be able to send meeting updates to only
the added people. Somewhere along the way I lost this ability.

I had recently installed MapPoint 2008 which installed the Streets and Trips
Add-in. After disabling that add-in, the problem went away.

I have a person who tried to follow this (I did it successfully on my computer) on his computer and he does not get the window that gives the option of whether to send it to everyone or just the added attendees. If that window doesn't appear, how do you get it to appear? I could not find a setting anywhere under Tools Options, which is where I would have expected to find it.

What version of Outlook? Are all updates installed?
What addins does he have installed?

There was a bug in Outlook 2007 with the old Live Maps addin that caused
this sort of behavior. Other addins could cause it.

troubleshooting fiend

I have Outlook 2003 SP3 that is "part of the Microsoft Office Professional
Edition 2003."

The planner I updated with 2 new attendees sent itself as an update to the
86 attendees on the original planner, in addition to 2 new attendees.

I followed the proper steps; was prompted to "send to added or
deleted attendees," or to "send to all attendees." I confirmed the added or
deleted attendees option was selected, yet the planner went out to all. It
happened
2 more times when I added a couple more people in each instance.

Some troubleshooting that has been explored: My IT dept confirmed that all
patches have been installed; Live Search Maps Add-in is not installed. I
have the Communicator 2007 Add-in. IT considered it a possibility but also
said all patches have been installed.

The IT dept has received trouble calls for the same issue but could not
resolve it, but confirmed there ARE still bugs in the calendar updates.

IT pointed out one commonality with mine and another user's issue -- that we
used a distribution list in the Attendees line, but expanded it before
sending the original planner. However, IT said that once the DL is expanded,
it is the same as having entered each Attendee individually.

What is the root of this problem, and what can be done to fix it?

i think i may have found an answer to this problem, although I haven't tried it, so if anyone wants to give it a go and let me know, go for it.

If you go to Scheduling Assistant, and add the name of the person you want to add to the list to the bottom of the existing list where it says "Click here to add a name". Then untick all of the remaining participants to the left of their name, leaving a tick next to your new participant. Then press 'Send', which is at the top of the list of tick boxes, this may work. At the moment, I'm too busy and also dont want to test it out on my current list of people for risk of annoying them all if it doesn't work.

good luck!

I am now replying to a very old post but I needed help and found this so others might too.
I got the option to send to just the one new person added AFTER choosing to send update. When I click save I get an option to send update or not send but no option to just send to new recipient. I chose to send update and then it asked to send just to changed recipients or all. You have to risk that first message.
