Outlook 2007 - "No action required"?

[Guest]

(Vista and O2007) When receiving an updated meeting request (times changed),
the reading-pane displays "no action required" at the top of the
request...with no "Accept Decline" buttons. But, if you open the request in
the editor, the buttons show.

The "no action required" shows with an "!" to the left, and if you click on
it, a pop-up is displayed:

"Your calendar has been updated automatically. This meeting request will now
be deleted." [OK or Cancel]

Can anyone shed some light on why this "no action required" shows in the
reading pane? I've tried dillegently to reproduce it on a test system (using
O2007 and O2003) with no luck.

Searching for the phrase or the pop-up message gives no results.

Thanks in advance.

do you have outlook autoprocessing meeting requests?

As luck would have it, it's for the boss...so I can't be sure just yet. I
would assume all the defaults are on.

If, by autoprocessing requests, you're referring to the option in the
Tracking pane, then I would assume it's turned on.

If there's another setting...please share. I'm not a big calendarrer ;-)

Thanks for the reply.

look in tools, options, calendar options, resource scheduling. is
autoprocessing enabled?

I just went and looked, and no.

I played around on a test vista/o2007 box to try and reproduce it by turning
this option on...but no luck. The sender and recipient are Vista/O2007. I
even tried from 2003-->2007...and purposefully setting up conflicts, turning
off "response required", and turning off "can propose new time" options.

You're right, the pop-up text does seem to imply that the option is on, as
the second line is "The meeting request will now be deleted".

I'm curious if the organizer has some option that might cause this
"auto-processing" to happen, but they barely know what a PC is.

It must be one of those "yet-to-be-documented" issues. You'd think that the
"no action required" is such a purposeful message (albeit only in the reading
pane) that it would have showed up somewhere *out there*.

Thank you for your input. It'll all come out in the wash...
