using a resource in outlook to reserve a meeting room

[jkirk]

we have created a calendar as a resource for our conf rooms. below is the
message we get when we try to create a new recurring meeting and invite the
resource to the meeting to reserver the room. any help will be welcome.


declined your meeting because it is recurring. you must book each meeting
seperately with this resource.

I figured out a work around. Open up the calendar for the conference rooms
and book the meeting from within that calendar. It will allow you to book a
recurring meeting if you "are" the room. Remember to invite yourself!

that is going to be extra steps for our users and we would like to keep this
as simple as possible. i would like a way of fixing it also. thanks for your
response.

Reconfigure the room to not reject recurring requests. See http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.htm
