How do I send an appointment from my home computer calendar to my.

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2003 at home and Outlook 2000 at work. I am trying to
send appointments from my home computer to the office computer. I thought I
could simply use the invite attendee but to get this to work. Unfortunately,
the appointment will not send this way.

Ideally I would like to send the appointment as an invitation then just
accept it at work. Is this possible?

Microsoft offers a hotfix for Outlook 2000 to improve its compatibility with
iCal/vCal 2.0 meeting requests. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199 . Alternatively, have Outlook
2002/2003 senders avoid using reminders in the meeting requests they send to
Outlook 2000 recipients.

I did as you suggested and I attempted to send a test reminder to my office
computer and ensuring that the reminder was turned off. It appears that it
is not even leaving my home computer. The office assistant just sits there
rather than its usual animation when things are sent.
I also did a sort of back test. I sent an appointment inviting myself from
the office (Outlook 2000) to my home computer (Outlook 2003) and it worked
fine. I put my self as and invitee, it came to my home computer, I accepted
it, and it went directly to the calendar.
Should I try to reinstall the software on my home computer? Or could it
possibly be the MSN Outlook Connector that is the culprit?

As I understand, You have installed Outlook Connector for MSN at your
home computer and your office computer and trying to sync appointments
b/w the two.

But, when you create a appointment in your home computer and do a
send/receive, you will not see that in your office computer.

First you need to check if appointment is being sent to server.
Sign in to hotmail web. select the calendar tab and see if the
appointment is present there. if it is not present, then the sync from
local machine to server is not happenning. This might be due to lack
of your account provisioning or some bug in connector.
