Meeting requests between Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002

[Richard F]

I have Outlook 2000 SR-1 as the email program at my
workplace. At home I have a dialup connection to the
internet and use Outlook 2002 SP-1. When I send meeting
requests from work to my home email address they open as
normal email messages rather than as calendar appointments
which can be accepted. If I want to put them into my
calendar at home, I have to manually enter a new
appointment.

Is there a way I can receive the meeting requests at home
as appointments rather than an email message? Is the
problem created through the handling of the appointment by
my home ISP?

Thanks, Richard

Uncheck the meeting reminder time as Outlook 2000 has a bug that will render
the item as text rather than the correct format.
