I have found several threads on this topic (ranging back to OL97 and
Exchange 5.5), as well as a page on Microsoft's knowledgebase, but none
of the threads suggested that people had reached a solution (though
Microsoft implied that it just worked).

In any case, I have several resources set up. I am including them on
the scheduling tab in OL2003 w/Exchange Server 2003. I have setup
resource scheduling as described in the MS KB article. I have given
myself owner permissions on the resource.

When I am logged in as the resource on another machine, I receive the
requests. However, when I am on my own computer and just have the
resource's calendar called up under my own account, the events never
appear.

Has anyone had any successes with this? Is there something I'm
missing?

Thanks,
Tim

There's no such thing as "direct offline booking." Direct booking is strictly an online function.

Note that for direct booking to work, each resource needs to be invited to the meeting as a resource attendee, not as a required or optional attendee. See http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.htm for more information.

Sorry, I was quoting "Offline" from the MS KB article (291617).

What I want to do is schedule the resource and have it automatically
accept and the event appear in the resource's calendar.

It turned out that the reason it wasn't working was that I needed to
set the type on the Recipient to olResource (had to set it to 3 as I'm
in vbscript).

Now I'm exploring the issue that the resource gets a different subject
on its calendar than the one on the original calendar!

Thanks,
Tim
