Calendar issue with Exchange and Form issue

When users in my environment send a meeting request (or similar item)
to another user, the receiving party gets the message, but if they
don't actually view the message or go into their inbox and at least
view it with the preview pane, the item doesn't get posted to their
calendar. I would think that in an environment where we have one
exchange server with about 20 users on it, that once the meeting
request is sent, it should be posted to everyone's calendar as
tentative at the least. However, this is not happening. Should
Exchange be acting like this, or is it somehow misconfigured?

By the way this is Exchange 2003, hosted on a Windows 2003 SBS server,
with Outlook 2002 and 2003 clients.

Also, I've created a form where I am trying to generate the subject
line from three other fields within the form so that they look like
this:

sample random text (field 1) more text (field 2) more text (field 3)

However, when I try to do it using various combinations of the "'s, I
get a subject line with the date and time...what am I missing?
 
Show your exact formula, please.

FYI, there is a separate newsgroup for Outlook forms issues --
microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms.
 
This is the code I got to work:

Phone Call: " & [CallName] & Space( 1 ) & [CallerPhone] & Space( 1 )
& [BusiName]

But I was hoping to be able to have it do something like this:

"Phone Call: " & [CallName] "At" & Space( 1 ) & [CallerPhone] &
Space( 1 ) & "From" [BusiName]

The purpose is to take the three fields, CallName, CallerPhone and
BusiName and generate a subject line ie: Phone Call: Mitch at
000-000-0000 From Some Company.

Have you any idea about the lack of free busy information being
posted?

Thank you Sue,

Mitch
 
You just need to concatenate your strings precisely with an & operator
between each string expression:

"Phone Call: " & [CallName] & "At " & [CallerPhone] & " From" & [BusiName]
