My shareware scripts Export-Import Entourage X will export them to a text file (and thence into Excel if you wish). The number of beers and chocolates you've offered me "if I ever come to Brussels" would more than pay for the scripts. ;-) Not that the tasks are doing much harm in Entourage. You could just view "Due Today" or Due This Week" (in the View menu) and not look at the older tasks unless you really want to. Tasks _should_ be for things like project tracking. But Entourage's tasks don't offer many fields: they're far too limited. I suppose you've seen Outlook's? Percentage of work done, rate, hours, billing info, etc. etc. It's a shame that Mac business users should have to buy another app, when Entourage ought to be be able to do it. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html 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/>
