- After getting the Palm synchronized, I found many of my contacts when opened needed to be saved even though I had not made any changes (that is, double clicking to open will open the contact in a window indicating that the contact has been changed, and a save must take place before the window can be changed). Contacts for which this situation occurs will NOT be found by the matching engine when typing the first few characters of a name while addressing new mail messages. This was rather disconcerting at first as you can imagine; however the contacts are in the database, they just need to be opened and saved to be usable. I estimate that this affects roughly half of my 900 contacts – so I’ll probably have to figure out a script to open and save all my contacts, then do a cradle based sync.
The script was already posted to the list.
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
set theContacts to (every contact)
repeat with theContact in theContacts
open theContact
close window 1
end repeat
beep 2
display dialog "All done" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon 1 giving up after 3600
end tell
