Shared calendar moderation issue

[Jamston]

We run Outlook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003. I have setup a shared calendar
in public folders to keep track of employee holidays. I have set permissions
so that I have full access and default users have read and post access.
However I have setup moderation so that any holiday requests that get posted
come to me first for approval.

This works fine, a user can create an appointment, when they click save and
close it sends an email to them saying it's moderated, the event doesn't get
created yet and i get notification of the event by email. When i open the
email it appears as if i were creating the event the same as what the user
would have seen, i can make any adjustments to date or time etc but when i
click save and close it closes the window but does nothing. I would expect it
to publish the event to the calandar as if i'd created the event myself but
nothing!?

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks
Jamie

Worked it out!!!

When the user request comes to you for moderation, you open the message to
see the event details. Clicking "save and close" does nothing, what you need
to do is choose "File > Move to folder" then browse to the public shared
calendar instead to place it in there!

It works! The event now shows in the public folders shared calendar

I would have thought that because the original request came from the shared
calendar that the "save and close" button would automatically place it there.
Obviously not the case!
