I referred you here at the point where you thought it impossible to ever get to the newsgroup again, Richard, when you hadn't explained that you were trying only via web browser rather than news reader (Entourage). I feared you would be writing me personal emails several times a day until the end of time, or further, to discuss all the minutiae of Entourage tasks. Things pertaining to Entourage are best dealt with in a public forum like the newsgroup or this mailing list, so that people like Allen and I don't have to repeat the same thing 1000 times but only 900 times (since later people on the scene rarely go back to news or mail archives.) Now that you know how to get through to the newsgroup via Entourage, you can correspond that way if you prefer. This mailing list is much more established with experts than the Entourage newsgroups since it, and its predecessor, the Outlook Express mailing list, have been around longer. Developers and program mangers even correspond here on occasion. So you'll probably get a better answer-to-question ratio here than on the newsgroup. I didn't refer you here specifically concerning Allen's script - I merely told you that Allen would be the right person to debug his script, not I. There's probably just a missing line at the end or something like that. As it happens, you may in fact get Allen's attention here sooner than on the newsgroup which he has only recently joined. Make sure to keep asking him many follow-up questions. <g> -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
