Hello Everyone:
Background: We are an office where half of the employees use MS Outlook 2000 and the other half use MS Outlook 2003.
Problem: Problem sending Calendar appointments / meetings between Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003
Observed Result:
Sending a Calendar Appointment From Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2000
Goes through fine as a calendar event if I uncheck the "Reminder" option before sending the invite.
Does not go through fine if I have the "Reminder" Option checked before sending the invite.
This is how it gets delivered (part of the message)

Sending a Calendar Appointment From Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003
If I send a Calendar appointment / meeting from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003, it gets delivered as a regular email message with the message such as below. It does not matter if we check the reminder box or not.
Message: "When: Saturday, June 18 etc. etc."
I would appreciate it, if some one can explain the possible cause and solution for this behaviour. I would like a solution, where Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 do not have any problem communicating with Calendar events..
Thanks in advance.
