I didn't catch that. In that case, it's for the same good reason that all your Entourage data - especially the database - is kept in the Microsoft User Data folder - so it doesn't get thrown out or altered when you update the application with new versions. In OS X, this is even more important, since user data is in the OS X User sector, whereas the application is in Applications in the main OS X hard drive. Although Entourage identities share scripts, separate OS X users don't - they each have their own MUD and scripts folders. As to why a separate Scripts folder _within_ the MUD folder - it's better than muddling scripts up with all the other files in there. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
