I would like to create a rule to automatically schedule an appointment in
another user's calendar.

I would also like to create a rule to automatically cancel an appointment if
necessary.

Thank you.
 
Rules only work on mail items.

Thank you, Milly, for your response. What I want to figure out is this:

Secretaries at the law firm I work at want to be able to send an e-mail to
an attorney's calendar of upcoming appointments, have it automatically get
posted, and forward a copy of the appointment to that attorney's secretary
and/or paralegal. When an appointment gets cancelled, then they want to be
able to send an e-mail to remove the scheduled appointment, along with
forwarding info to the secretary and/or paralegal.

I was able to set this procedure up to work when we had Novell's Groupwise,
but I haven't been able to figure it out with Microsoft Outlook 2003. Can
you help?

Thank you very, very much for everything.
 
1. Have the mailbox owner set up delegates for the mailbox for their assistants/paralegals. This will put the appts. in all calendars.
2. Have the secretary use a new appt. item to send the appt. not a mail item.
3. Have each of the parties in #1 set up their planner options to automatically accept but not conflictin appts.
4. When something is cancelled or postponed, have the secretary in #2 send an update by opening the original item on their calendar and updating/cancelling the appt and select the option to send updates.
