Paul, I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can tell you that when I select a group of contacts in my address book and then hit the "new group" button, Entourage creates a group with every contact that I've selected, regardless of whether or not they have an email address. I sorted through 1542 contacts and removed the ones without email addresses, PAIN in the ASS. Must be a better way. Anyway then I went to run the script and now I'm getting an error message that says : "Can't get last message of drafts folder, invalid index." What can I do now?

I don't think that's the problem. But go to Mail & > News Preferences/ Compose. You probably have "Automatically check names when > sending messages."

I'd recommend the first.
