An AppleScript sync is not possible with Entourage X because there's no way, in AppleScript. of tracking whether an event or task has been modified - no 'modification date' property. I'm hoping (it was a very strong feature request) that that will be remedied in Entouarge 2004. Then I will make a Sync Entourage-iCal script. (iCal events and todos do have such a property.) iCal's scripting is very wonky but should be good enough to make this work with a few workarounds. As far as I am concerned it's not worth the huge effort of making a non-syncing import script, so that's why I haven't done it yet. It shouldn't be too long to wait now for Office 2004. Just in case 2004 still didn't allow for syncing, I'd make a non-syncing script at that point. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
