A custom calendar form was created in OL2002 with VB Script to book
appointments at one of our sites. the clinicians were booked as
resources.

This all worked fine until OL2003 has been introduced and I know get a
""Unable to directly book a resource for this meeting" dialog appear.

Looking back through the groups this has cropped up in the past but
there has been no real answers to this question.

Please help.

CAUSE
You do not have sufficient permissions to the resource account.

RESOLUTION
Have the resource owner give you at least Author permissions to the
resource account.

MORE INFORMATION
To directly book meetings with a resource account, users must have at lease
Author permissions. This grants them the ability to create and read items
and files on the resource account, and to modify or delete items and files
they create.

Permissions that are not adequate to successfully directly book meetings
with a resource account include, Contributor, Reviewer, and Nonediting
Author.
To Modify Permissions on the Resource Account
Log on to the resource account.
Right-click the Calendar folder, and click Properties on the shortcut menu.
On the Permissions tab, click to select the user for whom you wish to
change permissions.
In the Permissions Roles list, click to select at least Author permissions.

Regards,
Subbu

Tkank you Subbu

However this is not the problem.

All permissions are correct. As stated in the KB artical you must grant
at least Author permissions. In some NG postings people have said you
need Editor permissions, this I have tried but with no luck.

I belive it may be an issue with OL2003 vbscript.
 
Tools, options, other, advanced... there are two allow script options - is
the appropriate one checked?
