Creating custom action when responding to meetings



Hello,

I occasionally receive meeting requests that I cannot attend, but for
archival/information purposes I would like to keep a copy of these meetings
in my calendar. I typically handle these by responding "Tentative" and then
putting a message to the organizer that I want to keep the appointment but
will not attend the meeting. Instead, I would prefer to send a "Decline"
response but then create a copy of the meeting, change a few of the
properties (for example Busy/Free status, reminder), and then put the
modified copy in my calendar.

To that end, can somebody please tell me the "sequence" of things that occur
when I click "Decline," "Tentative," or "Accept" to a meeting notice? I am
inexperienced with the Outlook Object Model (for example, what type of object
is a meeting request, what type of object is actually in my calendar, what
type of object is the meeting response that I send, and what actions are
associated with each of these objects?) but I have dabbled in VBA for other
MS Office applications. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Stu
