Sorry, Peter, it wasn't you it was me, trying to be too succinct. Most
properties in Entourage need to be evaluated first by setting a variable to
them, or using the explicit 'get', if they're them going to be used further.
This line:
tell c to set its custom field one to its spouse
didn't do that : i either need to
tell c
set theSpouse to its spouse
set custom field one to theSpouse
end tell
or
set theSpouse to c's spouse
set c's custom field one to theSpouse
or, in one line:
tell c to set its custom field one to (get its spouse)
This will work:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set nbsp to every contact whose spouse � ""
repeat with i from 1 to (count nbsp)
set c to item i of nbsp
set n to name of c
tell c to set its custom field one to (get its spouse)
end repeat
end tell
