OL98: Outlook Uses the Delegates Free/Busy Publish Time When the Delegate Updates Your Free/Busy Information (331029)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 98
This article was previously published under Q331029

SYMPTOMS

If you are running Outlook 98 and you have set up a delegate who is running Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later, Outlook 98 uses the delegate's free/busy publish time range when the delegate updates your free/busy information.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Outlook 2000 introduced an attribute that keeps track of the free/busy information that you want to publish. When Outlook 2000 tries to update someone else's free/busy information, it verifies that attribute. If that attribute does not exist, Outlook 2000 displays three months of your free/busy information by default. Because Outlook 98 does not have this attribute, information that is from someone who is running Outlook 2000 or later automatically publishes only three months of free/busy information.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, both you and your delegate should run the same version of Microsoft Outlook.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
