I have virtually NO experience with AppleScript, beyond retyping other people's scripts and putting them into the script menu or turning them into stand-alone applets.
That said, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to script using Synchronize! Pro X that won't be confused by office notifications, yet allow me to USE office notifications. I have two Macs, a desktop dual G5 and an Al PB 15". Both run OS X 10.3.5. I place aliases to my main Office User ID, to my Quicken file, to my IE favorites, and to a few other personal folders I keep synced (the REAL data for each of these stays where the application on each machine expects to find it). I never run both machines concurrently, so the process of synching them also backs up my most recent data to a separate machine. Sometimes Office notifications tells the sync program that something's changed in the machine I haven't been using to run Office since the last sync. I'm wondering if there's a script I could make that would turn off Office notifications on both macs (they're connected on an ethernet LAN when I synch them, with the PowerBook appearing on the G5's desktop), then launch the Synchronize! Pro X document. Then I'd run a separate script to turn ON Office Notifications on both machines once the sync had finished. Besides whether this is do-able, I have a few related questions: 1. Will simply TOGGLING notifications status on each machine change the database file's modification date? (that would make the script pointless, of course). 2. If an alert comes due on whichever Mac is unused, sleeping, waiting for the next sync before I use it again, and an Office notification comes due, does that change the database on the sleeping Mac? 3. Does the application "Synchronize! Pro X" itself have to be scriptable in order for this to work? By the way, this all applies to Office 2004. Thanks so much.
