Using Outlook Calendar

[20SilkCut]

I need to send out meeting requests using Outlook Calendar.

All the meetings (7 of them) are every 3 months and most of them dont occur on the same day, so dont fit into any of the 'occurrences' categories.

Therefore do i need to send out 7 different meeting requests emails to all concerned? It would be much easier if i could just send one with all the dates, but I cant figure out how to do this (if it is possible).

Any help gratefully received.

'YES'...

Now... keep up your side of the bargain ;-))

[sn�gs]

i could always use the clam to phone everyone for the 7 meetings, could'nt i ? lol

[20SilkCut]

You would'nt appreciate stars later....as you will probably be seeing them....LOL LOL

[sn�gs]

Hang on... my 'YES' wasn't a carefully considered answer...

but I guess you already knew that!

[20SilkCut]

Oh do stop dithering....cant stand dithering men....lol

[sn�gs]

Sometimes a little 'dither dither' is ok...

[sn�gs]

I shall now depart this thread and hope someone of a more technically minded nature can answer...

I shall stick to what I'm good at ;-)

[20SilkCut]

LOL ,,,,a little 'dither' builds the tension...eh?? LOL

[20SilkCut]

I don't use calendar but have had a peep and it says open a shared calendar - can you not add the email recipients to a shared calendar and then they would presumably all see the entries?

[20SilkCut]

Thanks Carrot - but they all have not given me permission to see their calendars....and there are loads of them.

Thanks anyhow for your answer...it might work in a different scenario. Cheers.

[sn�gs]

Yes, thank you carrot...

Silky... now where were we...

[20SilkCut]

I got 'waylaid' there Snags....have work to do... unfortunately :-((

but i may pop in from time to time....just to keep you on your toes...lol

open the calendar - schedule - open the first date

fill in the details -
recurrence - every 12 weeks
(aka 3 months)
set the end date
invite attendees
send
(Im not doing sloppy seconds with sn�gs - filthy firsts or nothing)

[20SilkCut]

Thanks AC....much appreciated - but another question.....what do i do when the meetings are not all on the same day every 12 weeks....it complicates things further.... sigh!!

oh and i guess you better talk to snags re. firsts and seconds....
however, a CV might help me decide .....lol

cheers!!

you can't do it if the dates don't fit a pattern.
even the first friday of every x months or similar (you have to have the month ticked in recurrence)

the only thing then is to create a template of standard words with all the names in - already filled out - then just change the date.

oh well ... you wont have time for anything else .... I'm cr@ap at it anyway - always seem to take ages
