Outlook 2003 adding attendees with no email addresas to meeting

Outlook 2003 can do pretty good stuff when it comes to integrating the
various PIM functions. However, I have a problem. I have set up a
calendar to plan training events for employees and sub-contractors.
Each employee and sub-contractor has a Contact card, but not all of
them have email (my business is the construction industry). When I try
to add attendees to a training meeting, I can only add those that have
email addresses. If I type in one of these names, check names does not
resolve it.

Is this a bug? Is it a configuration issue? Can anyone offer
suggestions on how to sort this matter out?

To use the calendar function to invite someone to a meeting, it sends the
invite via email. If one of the attendees does not have an email address,
you cannot send the invite. A workaround would be to invite them via a
telephone call and include this information in the meeting notes area.

Assuming they know they are invited and it's for your reference only (or for
others in your office), add a fake email address to their contact - maybe
formatted as no-email@your_domain.com. Otherwise, use milly's suggestion of
adding the names to the notes field.
 
Thanks

Workarounds are good. I shall use the fake email method.

In the meantime, Happy 2006!!
