Cancelling appointment that's deleted from sender's calendar
Hi, I have a recurring appointment that I sent to 20
people which needs to be cancelled. Unfortunately I didn't realize that I had deleted it from my calendar only until days afterward, so my deleted items folder had been emptied. Is there any way whatsoever I can still cancel this appointment myself, and not have to request everyone else to cancel individually? I'm open to tricks and tips, anything short of dredging through the backups. |

No you are out of luck on that appointment.
However, in the future you may want to think about implementing the following solution if you make appts for other people frequently... Open Outlook Right click on your top level folder in your mailbox (The one that starts with Outlook today - ...) Select NEW FOLDER... Type a name like OTHER PEOPLES MEETINGS In the "Folder Contains" box select APPOINTMENT ITEMS Then the next time you make an appointment for someone else, Open the OTHER PEOPLES MEETINGS calendar folder and make your meetings from that calendar. You will receive a message that because this is not your default calendar the appointment responses will not be tallied. This means that as people accept or decline these meetings the attendee availability information will not be recorded in the meeting. This also allows you to make changes to the meeting if necessary. -- Nikki Peterson [MVP - Outlook] "Margaret" wrote in message ...
