Can outlook notify me when I book an appointment when i am busy?
When someone sends me an appointment, or if i create one myself, for a time
where i already have another appointment scheduled, outlook will not notify me of this, and will allow me to accept, hence causing a dillema when i finally realise. Is there any option to make outlook tell me i'm busy during this time, and not allow me to accept? Perhaps only allow one meeting at a time, forcing me to either reschedule the original, or the new one? |

Outlook does tell you that you have a conflict. The information line
(yellow line at top of each item) will tell you that you have a conflicting appointment. Judy Gleeson Acorn Training ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????

Thanks,
but this is only visible after you've made the appointment, i was wondering if there's any features where an alert window will tell me of the clash, not letting me create/accept the appointment without clearly being notified... thanks for your help, Simon.
