Re: Still have issues with groups in calendar

Vlad,

Thanks for replying. If I have two lists with similar names, the only way I'm going to know which one is correct is if I can see the members. In addition, how does it handle being able to see individual's schedules if the distribution list doesn't expand?

Thanks again!
Cheryll

Why does it matter if it expands? If you send an invitation to a list, all its members will receive it. I suppose it can become an issue if you want to exclude some people from the list for the meeting in question.
