SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, when you use Collaborative Data Objects (CDO) to programmatically accept and respond to a meeting request update, that update is processed correctly. However, if you do not programmatically remove the meeting request after you respond to it, you experience the following symptoms:
 * If you start Microsoft Outlook, the meeting request update appears with a &quot;Please respond&quot; status.
 * If you delete this meeting request update from Outlook, the corresponding Calendar item is also deleted.

You expect the meeting request update to appear in Outlook with an &quot;Accepted&quot; status. Additionally, if you delete the previously-accepted meeting request update by using Outlook, you do not expect the meeting to be removed from your Outlook calendar.
