atw: Re: Macro for sending meeting reminders based on response tracking in Outlook

Yeah, I have the same problem in lots of places. I go chasing them. I
pestered one beggar of an engineer he eventually started organising the
documentation meetings. That was a major victory...

The macro. A challenge but maybe a bit too much of a challenge.

Warren. Would love to know how it is done.

in Outlook


So you have a group of people who have established that they don't 
reliably respond to e-mail, and you're going to fix the problem by 
sending them another e-mail...

Phone or visit each person and ask them. Then send an e-mail confirming 
the time and place of the meeting and listing the people who've said 
they're coming.

On the day of the session, phone or visit everyone who said they'd come 
to the session and confirm that they still intend to be there.

I guarantee this will take less time and be more successful than 
delegating it to your Sent Items folders to negotiate commitments with 
their Inbox.
