We're using office 2007 and exchange server 2003.

When I want to tell my peers I'm "out of the office", I make an appointment
and invite attendees. When I click to send, I get this message: Outlook has
detected the following: The location is not specified. Do you want to send
the meeting anyway? Is there a way to prevent this popup? I don't want to
tell them where I'm going.

Perhaps we are not using Outlook correctly. I see other posts about "shared
calendars".

Click to expand...

Why are you not enabling the Out of Office Assistant? If you want them to
see you as out of the office if they want to schedule you in a meeting, add
an entry to your own calendar that shows you're out of the office. When
they try to schedule you, they'll see that, although they won't see where
you are.
 
if you have the most recent updates and it shows, it can't be disabled...
however, rather than enter the actual location, just put in "out of office"
or something to clue them into the fact that you are out...
 
Thanks Diane. I can do that but it's a time waster.
What would out of the office assistant do? I can't find it on the program
help index. I want people to know ahead of time I will not be available.
 
Then send them an email.

Is there any way to designate a default location or turn that prompt off all
together? I work from home and don't need that field - ever. It's a waste
to have to enter it each time and/or reply to the "schedule meeting anyway"
popup if I leave it blank.
