This only appears to work if you are on the same Exchange server. Correct?

Voting buttons are great, and use them often.

One behavior I have noticed is--and I would call it a bug--if you move the message and responses to another folder then Outlook 2007 doesn't track the responses any more in the original message.

So to workaround this I don't move the original message or responses until everyone has voted.

Users should bare that in mind to fully leverage voting buttons.

(If your interested in reproducing the "bug" my system is Outlook 2007 SP2 running on Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. My organization also uses Exchange Server 2003, but I assume it's a Outlook issue and not Exchange.)

Regards, Rick

Scott: No, you do not need to be on the same Exchange server for voting buttons to work correctly.

Hello,

So we don't need to be on the same Exchange server, but do all the recipients should use Outlook 2003 / 2007? Or can we send to recipients that uses webmail for example?

Thank you in advance,

Rodrigo

Is there a way to set it up so someone can choose two options? I.e. someone has to go to 2 of 4 meetings and they can indicate the two they want to go to?
