SYMPTOMS
When you add names in the Scheduling tab of a new meeting request, Outlook 2002 may appear to stop responding (hangs) until each attendee's name resolves (displays as an underlined name) and their Free/Busy time appears.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Outlook 2002 checks the Free/Busy folder on the Microsoft Exchange Server for each attendee's Free/Busy time, which takes time to retrieve.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, type in the attendees' names in the To field first, and then click the Scheduling tab to check the Free/Busy times for all attendees at once.

Additional query words: freeze delay lock up slow
