I will look at this, Joe — however, no permissions should have changed in the conversion process. These are people who previously had permissions to each other’s calendars and could see details (of those appointments not private). After conversion (to Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010) some of the calendars work, some don’t. But I will look into the settings on the link you provided.

No — we are seeing the same thing as we just converted from Exchange Server 2003 to Exchange 2010, running Outlook 2010 client. Private messages are marked “private” correctly when viewing from another users’ calendar (who has permission). However, for some calendars, all items are showing as simply “busy” with no details or other data. Would like to hear if others have experienced this and find it is a controllable setting, or a fluke in the conversion process (to the new version)

Excellent! This works well! Thank you so much for the work-around solution to keep this user happy.

I was surprised we did not have the macro security settings set by group policy, so we were able (thankfully) to change those to make this work pretty seamlessly.

Now — is someone going to suggest to Microsoft that maybe they change/fix this going forward?

Thanks John,

I tried this a bit, but had trouble with the “ThisOutlookSession” thing — but we have a VBA expert here, so I’m going to ask her help to build this module. What I have tried so far using that code does not work, but it is probably a problem with my attempts at creating that module. From what I am reading (about that code in that thread) – this won’t necessarily make the Save Sent Item feature work, but instead it will prompt for a save location when they choose send?

Great post johnsmithbisley – I was just checking to see if someone corrected Scott Dunn’s incorrect statement that aerosnap couldn’t be used on two monitors – we had also already figured out the Windows Key + right or left arrow keyboard shortcut to use snap with two monitors. Glad to see you posted that.

Also, you can use WinKey + up and WinKey + down arrow to maximize or minimize

Good point, Hans — thanks for clarifying that further.

So it’s much safer to accept all changes. (If you want to keep the version with the tracked changes, make a copy of the document before accepting them)

I agree with that statement (making a copy). And that’s what I suggested to the user who also asked me this question that originally sent me in search of the KB article. But she was adament on wanting to use the workaround, even though it only made it so they would not appear on open on her document.

There is a workaround, according to Microsoft — if you are wanting to keep the mark-up changes (not accept or reject them), but not have them open visible when sending it to someone else

KB831771

You can change your Trust Center settings to turn off the “Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving” — however that setting is document-specific so would turn back on for next document.

Okay. Well, then, thanks

I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. I didn’t know, and couldn’t find, of any way to do it when a user asked me; so I thought I’d throw it out there to see if anyone else had any tricks.

Have a great day

Nevermind, I think I figured it out!

After reading your post, I created a Test Meeting in my Outlook 2007 calendar, and gave it no attendees (other than me). Then I went back in and changed it an added an attendee, and sent invitations, and it tracked fine. So I don’t think it has to do with the no attendees.

The only ones on my calendar that have no “Tracking” under SHOW are those not set up by me on this account. Did you by chance send it via a different user/account setting?

Dave, since this isn’t the only one or time this has happened recently (all added through the “Not Junk” contet menu), is some type of corruption to the file what file?) possible?

Are you on a Microsoft Exchange account? According to This Site if you’re on Exchange, it must be Server 2003. You could check that.

Thank you, Hans! We will test this.

Macros are already trusted/enabled, as well as links, as this is an Excel file linked from our Sharepoint site, for internal users. Group policy already has those trust settings like that, due to other things in the worksheet.

Thanks again so much

Thank you, Joe. Those three links answered most of my queries about it.

I had a user who was complaining that it wasn’t storing or remembering the addresses she put in (pretty new cache file – her NK2 was only 47k because it was a new machine). But I find she mostly copies/pastes addresses instead of actually typing them in (or looking for them in Global) so I think it isn’t remembering those entered in that way.

But I learned more than I knew before from those links, so I appreciate you finding them for me!

I’m sorry – I guess I don’t have any other possible answers. Sounds lke you have already thought of everything I would have tested — and it is unusual for it to just be the one sender. Usually for graphics it’s kind of an all-or-nothing.
Hopefully Hans or someone can find a miracle cure for you, Chuck

Chuck,
I’m assuming, then — that you have also tried copying this web link location of the graphic, and seeing if it will just open in a regular browser window (outside of Outlook)? That would narrow it down to definitely just being an Outlook issue – if you can view the same graphics, using that links embedded in the e-mail, in a new browser window.
