I'm really not sure what else to suggest, Dianna.  If a meeting request
is sent to 3 people, and only 2 of them are free at that time, then the
third one can ONLY accept tentatively, whatever your parameters and
preferences are set to.  

I would love to help more but I'm not running Exchange and I can't
replicate the problem as a result.  Anybody else running Outlook within
Exchange who might be able to offer suggestions?

Sorry not to have a solution for you.

Anne

We're a small company but we're not THAT small. :-)  They were just
getting frustrated from the conflicting meetings that could have been
scheduled for different times had it been seen that the CFO, CEO already
had been invited to a meeting at that time.

I'm not sure what you mean by setting up the Outlook profile correctly.
I am THE computer person... I manage everything, from the mundane to the
important.  If there is a way to ALWAYS accept TENTATIVELY meetings and
leave the meeting request in the inbox... and work the same way all the
time, I'd love to hear it.  It will work one way for one person one
minute and a different way the next minute for the same person (and same
recipient).
