Arranging meetings.

[jason.campbell]

Hi - I have Outlook 2007 with Business Contact manager. Typically I
arrange meeting over the phone and then want to add them into my
callender (linked to the appropriate contact). However, when I try to
do this it seems to always want to send a meeting request via e-mail
or fax. As I have already confirmed meeting this is not needed.

Is there anyway to put a meeting in my calender without going through
this process? I suppose I could make an appointment but surely a
meeting is the right thing to do...?

Thanks,

J

Sounds like you need to be creating an appointment, not a meeting request. A meeting request is used only when you want to send the request to someone else. If BCM doesn't link the way you want to appointments, you can always work offline and delete the meeting request from your Outbox. However, many people would appreciate getting a request that they can add to their own calendar.
