AppleScript could never create a new event window without first creating an event (i.e. it's already saved) and then opening it. It can't create an unsaved event window. But perhaps, in X, you had never checked the box that says "Save without prompting" for event windows. whereas in 2004 you have checked that option at some point. That means that closing the window now won't trigger a prompt even if you make some alterations, whereas before it did. > > Secondly, when I modify and save the event, I am warned that: > > "You have made changes to this invitation.

It's been reported. Basically, Entourage pops up that message for any event created by script. It evidently believes it to be an invitation. It looks like creating events by script, must use the same AppleEvents that saving an invitation does, so this notification is triggered even if you subsequently open and modify the event manually. I reported this a few times - it's certainly an annoyance. > > Thirdly, if I try to invite someone to this event, I don't have a choice of > accounts to send it from and when I save it, it doesn't actually send the > invitation. THAT's not good. I haven't seen that, but I send very few invitations (none, basically) so I wouldn't have seen that, > > Can anyone else confirm this behavior? This can't be the intended behavior. > Bug? It sure sounds like a bug. What happens if you save and close, then re-open it? What sort of account is your default account? If it's Exchange, perhaps something has changed there. There have been changes to IMAP code, but I don't think that should affect new invitations you send out. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
