invite people to a meeting that I've received

[Guest]

As a consultant I recevive meeting notices from other companies. If they use
Outlook then it comes in as an Outlook meeting notice. If they use Lotus
Notes then it comes in as an iCal attachement in their email. In either case
I may have to add attendees to the notice. I don't see an option that allows
me to do this after I accept the meeting and it is added to my calendar. Any
suggestions?

I'm using Outlook 2003 as part of office 2003 on a WinXP Pro system. To my
knowledge I have all the WinXP and Office updates. I just opened the calendar
entry and was trying to add attendees. I do see an option on actions to
forward as an iCalendar and as a test I just did this but I don't see the
people listed as attendees in my outlook entry. Possibly I'm expecting too
much but when I add people I expect to see them on the list. If the meeting
changes or I need to add or delete people I have no control if the list of
people is not available.

If you are not the organizer, of course you would not have this ability.
Simply forward the meeting to the group of people you want to add.

Is there anyway to keep track of the people I forward the meeting notice to?
My concern is meeting changes, e.g. without knowing to whom I have forwarded
the meeting notice to how do I keep them in-sync with meeting changes? Often
several other consultants from other companies are involved and they often
invite people on their team as well. I agree that I'm not the "organizer" of
the original notice but I'm the organizer of people on my team. The only
current work-around is for me to create a duplicate meeting notice. This of
course is a kluge.
