I know that you can disable "Request Responses" in a meeting request so
invitees won't respond, but can I do the opposite? That is, can I "force"
them to respond to a meeting request, apart from creating a custom form?

Thanks in advance,

Click to expand...

How would you propose making their fingers click their mouse buttons to
force them to accept?
 
Yes, you can. It is called training, with consequences.

I guess I should have worded my question better. I realize you cannot force
a user to respond. What I meant to ask was, when a user *accepts* a meeting
request, is there a way to automate the reply so they don't have the option
to accept without sending a reply?
 
No but see my first response.

I like your 1st response!! What does training consist of? And what
consequences would you suggest?!! This would be in response to exactly the
opposite of the original question.... I cannot turn off request responses in
a public folder calendar and people insist on sending me responses!! I even
get "accept" or "decline" from WEEKS AFTER a meeting date!!!! :( Your list
of consequences would be much appreciated!! :) Thanks.
