Recently one of our users had added some information relevant to a meeting he was due to have with a colleague.

This was done offline whilst ona flight. So was not replciated back to the server in time for the backup to capture it. The laptop was connected to exchange in the mornig but later on the meeting was cancelled and so the comments that had been entered got overwriten.

Is there any switches/options I can use to notify the user the meeting will overwrite there comments/changes etc.

Or anyway to bring it back from the server/laptop ?

We currently use Exchange 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2007 SP2
