Aagh, You're right: the script includes something that _should_ work, but
doesn't. It's really an Entourage bug, not mine, but i need to work around
it. It's a serious bug in Entourage applescripting, which I've known about
for a few days, and reported on the beta list. I never tested that
particular bit with this script because i didn't want to fill all my
contacts' job titles.
set theContacts to (every contact whose category � {})
errors just as you say (descriptor mismatch) , because 'whose' clauses were
not implemented for the category property of contact.
I just fixed it in the script, to:
set theContacts to (every contact)
which will take longer as it has to loop through every contact including the
ones with no category. But it will work.
Thanks a lot for reporting this.
