Can you organise a meeting that you don’t attend? (OL 2002 SP2 Exch 2000)

Folks

Is there a way to be the organizer for a meeting without being an attendee?

(I understand how to be a delegate to someone else – but that isn’t the requirement – this is ad-hoc meeting organization).

Thanks in advance.

FWIW, I can’t figure out a way to initiate a meeting from my Outlook client where I’m NOT the Organizer. You could do it by delegation or by perhaps using a resource as organizer (though I don’t have a way to test this). How about organizing it and then deleting it from your Calendar without sending a Cancellation notice?

Thanks John – I suspected as much.
Yes deleting it afterwards seems to work OK – even if the recipients are a little confused as to where you are.
For the record, using a resource as organizer only works if you take the effort to login as the resource – all a bit hard.
