I organised a reoccuring meeting in Outlook and invited a distributionlist of which I myself was part of. Therefor I also got a meetingrequest,which I accepted. Now I have the meeting in my calaneder, but not able to control it anymore as an organiseren should like inviting more people or canceling the meeting. How can I solve this and prevent it happening again?

Hi 1.What is the version of outlook? 2.Do you run outlook by mobile phone? 3.Can you create new meeting and accept meeting request again? Will the error occur again? 4.Can you meet information “As the meeting organizer, you don’t need to respond the meeting”? I often read organizer mistake of iphone,nokia. It seems to be compatibility issue. I can’t find KB and blog about it. My suggestion is to update your outlook and restart outlook. You can open ticket from MS and they can help you to analyze outlook log. But it is not free.

Mark´s problem is easy to understood and none of the Terence´s 4-point itinerary leads to solution. (Try to read & understand simultaneously, Terry :-) ) In case the organizer invites a group of which he/she is a member, he/she becomes two roles for the meeting: organizer + participant. However the participant role takes over after accepting and the organizer remains organizer, but with attendee´s privilegies (which is a bug in my eyes dear Outlook team). This happens very often in large organizations with multiple pre-defined shared groups. Restarting Outlook won´t help, I´m affraid . Another similar bug-of-bugs in my eyes (which has common solution with the previous Mark´s one) is impossibility of re-assigning the meeting organizer directly from Outlook. In our dynamic world people shuffle in organizations and positions, leave for shorter or longer time, often forgetting or not willing to manage all their organized meetings. They leave but virtually remain in the organisation until the last planned occurence of their recurring meeting passes by. The only official MS solution is to ask all original participants to decline from the meeting(s) and to accept a new one arranged by a new organizer (!) does not this seem stupid? This is offten a painful issue - organizing of such a change can take couple hours and involvement of many people especially accross arganizations where the participant are not bound by one unifiyng MS Exchange (or whichever similar). Simple button for taking (re-assigning) ownership of the meeting and sending update to the participants would solve both above mentioned problems, saving huge $$$ globally. Roman
