Default Inviting additional attendees

I also have the problem - I am unsure when the dialogue will ask me to update
and when not. Is there a way to force the question when:
1. I've added 1 attendee, and I want it to send to them alone. I believe in
this case I should not hit "send update" but close the meeting and hope it
asks me before bugging all - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
2. I've added a resource, and I want to use the send update function to book
that resource, but not send to attendees (it seems to treat resources
differently from attendees and the "send update seems to be about attendees).
I don't know how to be sure that it has nudged the resource.
3. I've sent an invite, but not heard back from all, so I just want to ask
those who haven't responded to do so - rather than sending an email and
aksing them to go and find the appointment and then respond, can I resend
just to those few people?
4. I was fooled (and I'm not alone) into thinking that the option to remove
attendee (in the tracking tab - right click the envelope by their name) would
simply stop them from being sent again. Nope! It removes it from their
calendar so they have to be sent a 3rd time to put it back in.

2003 and 2003. We'll be changing Office to 2007 by the end of the year.

Default Inviting additional attendees

Hi! I am now using 2007.
When I add an attendee, it gives me the option to send or discard changes.
If I bite the bullet and send, it does now seem to consistently give me the
option to send to all or just to added and deleted attendees - fantastic.

.... My next question is: I need to keep the appointment in my sent items in
order to track responses (I read a post from Nikki that said I have to open
each response for it to track properly but I don't think that is the case).
Do I need to keep the original meeting invitation in my sent items to track
further changes from the original attendees, or can I just keep the most
recent invitation? ... or will just any of the invitations do?
