That's not quite what he wants. He wants a custom view (not a single folder) to include messages from all folders of a particular category.
The long workaround for now is to make the custom view (Items: Messages, Location: All folders) criteria match "if ANY criteria are met" and then add as many criteria as necessary, each one for <Folder> <Is > <Choose folder...> and then go through all the folders of the correct color one by one. A bit tedious, but you get there. You have to add more if you add more folders of this category. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - 2004, X or 2001.
