Save this script as "Database Size \coD" in the Entourage Scripts folder to be able to get the size by pressing ctrl-opt-D, or change the keyboard shortcut (Help/About the Script menu) It works for English language Entourage: change the folder and file names as appropriate for other languages.


tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set iName to name of current identity
   set MUDpath to path to MUD as Unicode text
end tell

set database to alias (MUDpath & "Office 2004 Identities:" & iName & ":Database")
set mSize to ((((size of (info for database)) * 10) div (1024 * 1024)) / 10) --MB to 1 decimal place
if mSize > 1024 then
   set theSize to ((((mSize * 100) div 1024) / 100) as string) & " GB" -- GB to 2 decimal places
else
   set theSize to (mSize as string) & " MB"
end if
if iName ≠ "Main Identity" then set iName to (iName & " identity")
display dialog "The size of the database of " & iName & " is " & theSize buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon 1

PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X  or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
