This is from the Outlook XP help: Send an Internet (iCal) meeting request To send Internet (iCal) meeting requests, you must turn on the option to do so by following the procedure below. Then send meeting requests as usual.
Click Calendar. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Calendar Options. Under Advanced options, select the When sending meeting requests over the Internet, use iCalendar format check box. To turn off iCal, clear the check box. For existing events on your calendar, there should also be a "Forward as iCalendar" item in the Action menu. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 9:11 AM To: Entourage:mac Talk Subject: Re: Exchange Calendar Events Thanks Omar - sort of off topic (company uses Outlook 2000), but how do you tell it to do so?
