When users open a meeting request they created and see the error message "Invitations have not been sent for this meeting" even though the meeting request was sent (and responses received from the recipients), they are often confused because the message was sent.
Additionally, they may receive a message when they close the meeting invitation: "
Although the displayed message gives the impression that the meeting request has not been sent, you do not need to send it again. The attendees who received the meeting request when it was originally sent will not be affected.
This is the result of exporting or moving the meeting to a Calendar in a pst file (or moving the items back to the Exchange calendar). Although it happens less frequently, it can also occur when a pst file is set as the default message store for an Exchange mailbox.
When you move or export the meeting events to a pst file, the meeting request status and attendee response status are not exported. As a result, when the meeting or invited event is opened, the Info bar will display "Invitations have not been sent for this meeting" and will ask if you want to send it when you close the meeting.
I'm having the same problemin Outlook 2010. I set up so many meetings, and I find myself going back to them from time to time to make sure that I set them up correctly. There I find that dreaded message "Invitations have not been sent" and I start going into panic mode. I have some attendees from this meeting and I do not have access to their calendars, therefore when I check in the scheduling assistant, it just shows the time frame reserved for those people, but the time frame is blank. Is there another way that I can look to see if they have accepted the meeting notice?
Thanks for your help.

I have just become disabled and trying to learn outlook Meetings and Contacts along with the calendar to set up Dr. appointments, letting people know who needs to be there. I would also like to know if there is some sort of chect sheet that would list the commands needed to set up meetings because I have a problem remembering things.
Any help you could send this way would be a big help. I can not keep calling tech support when they want $200.00 just to ancer a question. I really feel dumb at times.
Thank you for anything you can do to help,

All you need to do is to open a new appointment form and fill in the blanks. If you need to send it to someone, you'll use the Meeting shortcut instead and enter their address.
I don't have a cheat sheet, but I will make one up for you.
