Do you need to have Exchange Server to use this feature in Outlook?
Vince Averello said:Just to be sure make sure the option to use iCalendar is checked here: Tools
menu > Options > Calendar

(even
if no message is sent) looks like this:

(the message is much longer,) and no one can read them. Also there is no
where to respond; accept, decline, or anything.
The first person to use this feature is our director and it worked (he had
a
older version of Outlook), but now he has a new PC and everyone has this
problem and we're all in 2003. And he wants us all to use this and I was
told that it would not work without Exchange.
LGJ said:No, I have tried this and that does not work in version 2003. Thanks
Milly Staples said:You could have saved SOOO much time had you bothered to include your
version
of Outlook in your first post.
For older versions of Outlook, you need to force Rich Text Format. Right
click the address, select Properties, and use the dropdown to select RTF.

Bob Beckert said:I recently had this problem in Outlook 2002 on a coworker's PC and found I
have to go to the Contact entry, right click the e-mail address for the
contact, choose Outlook Properties... and under Internet Format choose Send
using Outlook Rich Text Format.
I use Outlook 2003 on XP Home, SP2, and from day one I've been able to have
the invitations received as calendar entries. Go figure!
Good luck!
