Andrea, as I posted earlier I have a similar problem. Have you tried the
"Invite Attendees" method sending TO work instead of Forward as iCalendar?
(BTW I found the forward as iCalendar button I asked about in last post), I
too have OL 2003 at work, (with MS Small Business Server), and I believe as

work, and it's not translating outbound meeting requests into iCalendar."...
I can successfully send appointments TO work via "Invite Attendees" (then a
simple "Accept" on the other end places it in the calendar) but cannot
successfully send Invite Attendees home, so I will use your method (Forward
as iCalendar) while sending appointments home to sync.

Sue, thanks, very much. It's still a lot more cumbersome than what
happens
when I email appointments from the office to home -- I just click on them
and
click "Save" -- but it gets me there.
I really appreciate it.
Is this due to the fact that one version of Outook is Professional and the
other is the Small Business edition?

Sue, when I receive the appointment at work (emailed from my home
computer),
and click on it, it opens in a window that's sort of like an
appointment. In
the title bar, there's the calendar icon in the top left corner and the
name
of the appointment.
Underneath that, there's a menu toolbar with File, Edit, View, etc.
Underneath that, there's another toolbar that has options for Accept,
Tentative, Decline and Propose New Time, but these options are grayed
out.
This tool bar also has options for Calendar...., Save, Attach and
Delete.
The next line says, "This meeting is not in the Calendar; it may have
been
moved or deleted.
The next line is "To...", with a space for me to insert an emial
address.
What I can't figure out is how to save it as an appointment in my
calendar.
It works fine on the other end, at my home computer.
At the office we use Outlook 2003 Small Business Edition. At home
we use
Outlook 2003 Professional Edition.
If I enter a new appointment at the office, I can email to my home
email
address by clicking "Forward as iCalendar." Then when I get home I
can click
on the appointment, and click save and it will be in my calendar on
my home
computer.
However, when I forward appointments from home to the office, I
can't save
them to the calendar that way. Any suggestions?
