Invitations not displaying accept/decline buttons

Am using Outlook 2002 and having problems with meeting invitations... It
seems that Outlook isn't recognising them as invitations and so they appear
just as regular emails with none of the buttons or formatting that
invitations should have.

The problem does seem to happen just periodically - it will be fine for a
month or so, but then returns with a vengeance. I cannot think of anything
that has changed on my computer that might be causing it, and nor can the
person sending me the invites.

Help would be most appreciated!
 
Are they coming from other Outlook users or different calendaring products?
Also, have you applied all the relevant SPs for Office 2002?
 
I have applied all relevant SPs... The user sending the invitations is also
using Outlook.
 
Sorry - not entirely sure what an iCal item is?

The user sending the invitations creates an appointment in their calendar
and clicks "invite attendees" to send invitations to other users. Is that
what you mean?
 
Is the option to send iCal items checked here: Tools menu > Options >
Calendar
 
Vince, I hope you don't mind if I jump in for the sake of the discussion:
Yes, iCal is enabled on both sending and receiving Outlooks. Outlook 2003
is running on all machines, and some receive a bonafide email formatted as a
Calendar Invite, and others get the ical info as garbled text in the body of
a normal email.

This problem is reported on this board every week.

I've needed an answer to this an NO ONE is able to answer it on this board!
So I lay down the challenge to anyone out there: CAN YOU ANSWER THIS OUTLOOK
ISSUE?
 
I don't have an answer yet. I haven't seen this happen myself so it's a bit
hard to diagnose...
 
Greetings everyone,

I'm having the same problem with my clients. If a user (who is using
outlook2003 in new york) sends a "meeting invitation" to another user (who is
also using outlook2003 in California) he or she is not able to view the
"accept, tentative, decline, or propose new time" buttons. instead, the
invitation is sent as an email and not as a calander event. How does the user
respond to the invite?

please help!

Regards, Chris
 
Has anyone offered an answer to this yet?
