on 4/2/2008 Can anyone tell me how to schedule a meeting but NOT have it show on my calendar. Often, I must be the meeting organizer and set up meetings for others, but I am not required to attend. Since I am the organizer these meetings show up on my calendar and it gets confusing trying to remember which meetings I am supposed to attend and which I am not.
Thanks.
