Tentative meetings do not show up

[Guest]

Dear Guru,

I have a client who is using Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2 running from
Microsoft exchange server 2003. She says that when she schedules a meeting
with her manager, it does not show up in his calendar until he accepts the
meeting. She wants the meeting to display as soon as she schedules it. Any
way to do this?

Many thanks,

Justin Stock

Update: The client says the below problem occurs when anyone emails her a
meeting request.

One suggestion would be to set the managers calandar to auto accept the
meetings. This could cause havok if he gets multiple requests though.

If she has access to a shared calendar on exchange, then she could schedule
the meetigs and not worry about conflicts as the manager would use the same
calendar. This helps with security as you have to establish rights for the
person to use the shared calendar ( this is assuming your in a exchange
enviroment )
