I create an appointment. Invite attendees. It arrives at the recipients PC
in text format. I have recently re-installed Office. Before reinstalling,
the procedure worked OK and the appointment was automatically created in his
calendar. What do I need to change to make it work again?
 
Outlook versions for you and the colleague? Is Exchange your mail server? If
so, what version?
 
Sue,

I am using Otlook 2002, my colleague is using Outlook 2000. We are not
using Exchange - simply using Outlook to Outlook via the internet.
 
There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions
related to reminders on meeting requests sent in iCalendar (aka iCal)
format. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

-- Contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the Outlook 2000
post-SP3 hotfix described in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199

-- Tell the senders to remove any reminder before sending you an iCal
meeting request.

-- Tell the senders to send to you in native Outlook meeting request (RTF)
format, not as iCal.
