Absolutely! Open it in Script Editor and find the line with the single word "activate" on it, following a line "tell application "Microsoft Entourage". Remove the "activate" line. Save the file. As long as you run the script from the script menu or a rule (within Entourage in other words), "activate" is not necessary. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- 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/>
