Invite Attendees

[Wanda]

Have created a custom Outlook appointment form. Invoked
the "invite attendees" fuction before saving the form (so
the TO field is visible at all times). Our SUBMIT button
populates the addresses (SMTP) of the Public Folder
calendars. The form is published to our Organizational
Forms Library. When we choose the form from the
Organizational Forms Library, the TO field is there. We
have linked the form to each Public Folder Calendar ...
but when we double-click (the custom form populates fine)
on the calendar, the TO field is not visible, but you can
select the option INVITE ATTENDEES to bring up the TO
field. Any ideas why the form invokes the TO field from
CHOOSE a FORM and not when double-clicking on the
respective calendar? Is there some type of code that we
can put in when the form comes up that has the TO field
visible? Thanks.

My guess is that double-clicking on the calendar invokes the appointment version of the form, while choosing the published form invokes the meeting request version. You could include code in the form to set the MeetingStatus property to olMeeting (1) and thus force it to look like a meeting request.
