Starting in 08, quitting the daemon does not quit Reminders. You really need
to quit all Microsoft applications.

re_backing_up.html>

tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to quit
tell application "Microsoft Database Daemon" to quit
tell application "Microsoft Office Reminders" to quit
tell application "My Day" to quit
tell application "Microsoft Word" to quit
tell application "Microsoft Excel" to quit
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint" to quit
tell application "Microsoft Messenger" to quit
