This might get you a bit further. I was futzing with the same thing a long.... time ago. Seems to work in IE (not Chrome) as long as you change the Status. Note our folks wanted some additional information (like Properties, access to attachments) so the thing is going to look different. I yanked out the Accept / Reject buttons and replaced with a drop down.
