As I said (above), I believe that this should work regardless of the preference setting (General Prefs, Address Book, the two "Automatically Link..." settings at the bottom), because when it runs it appears to simply do an advanced Find looking for any messages to or from the particular contact. But I have those two checkboxes checked in Prefs, so maybe the "Find Related" thing won't work otherwise. Does not make sense, but then not everything does! But, I just tried turning those prefs OFF and Find Related still works for me. I dunno why it won't work for you.
Maybe it does not work in E2001, but only in EvX? -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> XNS name: =Allen Watson Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/> -- 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/>
