I've created a form based on the standard IPM.Appointment form in
Outlook 2003 and written VBScript/VBA code to handle various events.
[I've left out the code deliberately for this posing as it is rather
lengthy....]

One event I'm handling is the DELETE event, but I've noticed that when
someone edits and already existing appointment created with this form
and then uses the SEND UPDATE button to post the changes to the
recipients they are getting the warning message that exists in the
DELETE routine (I ask the user if they really mean to delete the
appointment).

Obviously, and with good reason, this causes confusion as the user
hasn't selected the DELETE operation.

So, I guess I have two questions... One, does the SEND UPDATE button
actually perform a DELETE and SEND (which explains the message
appearing) -- I've not been able to find out difinitively; I only
believe so due to the observations from my form -- and IF this is the
case, how can one determine the diference between a pure DELETE and a
SEND UPDATE? I need to be able to perform diffent operations
depending on which the case is.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
 
I'd say your observations areas good as anyone else's. If it were my project, I would put code in the BeforeDelete event to save the item and then use Outlook Spy to compare it to a meeting request that isn't in that state.
