No. You'd need an event sync on the server and it would be more complicated.

Hi Diane,

I have tested the way you suggested and it works. However, it is a client
side rule and requires user's Outlook running. Is it possible to make it
a
server side rule?

Thanks
Richard

try the run a script option - place this code (written by Outlook MVP
Michal
Bednarz) in the VBA editor and select it as the script. I haven't tested
it
fully yet - it works in Outlook 2007 and should work in older versions
that
support the run a script action.

Sub AutoAcceptMeetings(oRequest As MeetingItem)

If oRequest.MessageClass "IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request" Then
Exit Sub

Dim oAppt As AppointmentItem
Set oAppt = oRequest.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)

Dim oResponse
Set oResponse = oAppt.Respond(olMeetingAccepted, True)
oResponse.Display

End Sub

Hi Diane,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried that and can select the Meeting
Request form. However, I don't find an action item that allows me to
automatically accept the meeting and send out response. Any further
idea?

Thanks again.
Richard

meeting requests as the form.

Hi there,

We have a specific user requirement to auto accept meeting requests
only
from some selected organizers, but I don't see any choice in Rule
Wizard
for
meeting requests. Does anyone have an idea, please?

Thanks
Richard Poon
