Turning the notifications on & off is easy enough:
Tell app "Microsoft Database Daemon" to quit
Turns it off...
Tell app "Microsoft Database Daemon" to launch
Turns it back on again.
I don't have synchronise pro, so I can't tell what commands will start it
up, but if it's just a matter of opening a particular document you can say:
open item "xyz" of folder (get path to documents folder)
To run them into one script...
Tell app "Microsoft Database Daemon" to quit
tell app "finder"
open item "xyz" of folder (get path to documents folder)
delay 5 -- wait for synchronise to launch
Repeat while "Synchronize! Pro X" is in name of every process
delay 2 -- wait 2 seconds and check again
end repeat
end tell
Tell app "Microsoft Database Daemon" to launch
Note: This script assumes synchronise will quit after doing it's stuff...
