How can I make Outlook automatically accept Mtg Requests?

I need to find a way to make Outlook automatically accept meeting invites
when they come from a specified sender. If possible without replying to the
sender. Isee the steps in rules to detect the incoming invite but don't see
away to accept the request. I have some experience with VBA in Excel and
Access but have never used it in outlook. Would VBA or some type of Outlook
script allow me to accomplish this?

Thanks

Check out this KB article to see how to run a VBA macro when a defined rule
is triggered:

You can then use the MeetingItem object to get the AppointmentItem object
that you will use to accept the meeting:

Eric,

Thanks! That worked great. Is there any way to eliminate the security
warning that is generated. When it sends the acceptance notice. The pop-up
warns me that another program is trying to send an e-mail on my behalf. Can
I prevent that only on this specific macro so that it doesn't compromise
overall security.

Sorry, there's a litte extra that you have to do with Outlook 2003 when you
use macros that are run from a rule:
