I have a user who has a second calendar added to there system as the
personal one as they need to share their original calendar as a team
Calendar.

However every time the user gets sent a meeting request and this is
accepted, it goes in to their orignal calendar that is shared and not
the personal unshared (secondary calendar).

How can i configure outlook 2003 to send the meeting requests to the
secondary calendar?
 
You can't -- meetings/appointments always go to the default calendar.
Drag/drop the item to your secondary calendar, but don't expect reminders
from this secondary calendar.

That is what i suspected. When you have an exchange account created
you have a calendar created. This is your primary calendar so the
echange server is going to send all of your meeting requests to this
calendar. I cannot see how we can make exchange create all the meeting
requests in the secondary calendar. One reason being, by definition
this is a secondary calendar, so i do not understand how we can get the
meeting requests sent to the secondary calendar and not the primary?

Cheers.
 
As Milly said, Outlook can't do what you want it to do. If you want appointments to be stored in the secondary calendar, you will have to move them there manually.
