But, no need to relaunch Entourage just to quit the daemon. If you have already quit other office apps, just launch OS X's 'Activity Monitor' (under OS X 10.3.x) or 'Process Viewer' (OS X 10.0 - 10.2.x) and quit the daemon from there. Alternatively, set up this little applescript: Tell app "Microsoft Database Daemon" to quit And save it in the system scripts menu for easy access. Quitting the daemon by any of these methods will not cause any problems, and is a lot quicker and easier than restarting entourage just to turn off notifications. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the Entourage FAQ pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> -- 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/>
