The document feature I think you're referring to is "freedocs" but it hasn't been a big question at my site. Resource booking isn't there today in Entourage, but I've found it doesn't work in OWA, either. So you'll want a server-side solution for that, most likely, and there are at least two (one from Microsoft). The way I look at the situation is this: Entourage started as a non-Exchange, Internet-standard mail client with personal PIM features. Everything that that is needed for Exchange compatibility must be planned, programmed, tested, and released. This has got to be a lot of effort. A tremendous amount of progress has been made in the last four years. There's more to be done. -- Jeremy Reichman -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
