I have no problems with this:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set myDate to (get current date)
set mo to month of myDate as number
if mo < 10 then copy "0" & mo as string to mo
copy day of myDate to da
copy text 3 thru 4 of (get year of myDate as text) to yr
if (day of myDate < 10) then copy "0" & da as string to da
copy (mo & "/" & da & "/" & yr as text) to theTxt
try
set selection to theTxt
on error
display dialog �
"This script can only insert into the body of a message" �
buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon stop
end try
end tell
