Automatically Decline Meeting Request???

[dtorres]

I have a user at my office that claims to never get meeting request via Outlook from his manager. When the meeting coordinator sends out the meeting request, this user always seems to DECLINE the request, while others accept. The user claims he never received the meeting request. From my understanding of Outlook, the user has to click "DECLINE" for it to be declined, reguardless if it is conflicting with an appointment already scheduled for that date. It is not going to automatically decline it if it does conflict with another scheduled meeting correct?

Can someone clarify this. I think the recipient is bluffing, and it not accepting his meeting requests.

There is also an option in the preferences calendar to automatically decline recurring meeting requests. But, that would only hold up if the manager is sending meeting requests that are happening on a regular time schedule, and are set up as one meeting that recurs. It shouldn't happen if the meetings are all set up separately.

I actually run 2000 so I am not sure if it is the same, but here goes. Tools/options/preferences, click on calendar options, next select resource scheduling, you should see the option there if XP has the option in the same set-up.
