Sounds on OS X are a PITA, there does not seem to be any built in way to play them, so you are forced to use a external app to do it, luckily, there is a fast little app that you wont even notice is running... <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14017> Install that, just copy it to your Applications folder, then, create applescripts like so: set cusrPath to (path to "cusr" as string) set soundAlias to (cusrPath & "Documents:Microsoft User Data:Custom Sounds:alert.aiff") as alias tell application "Play Sound" play (soundAlias as alias) end tell Save that as a script and place it somewhere, then create your rules to run a applescript, lots of work for something so simple, but it does work reliably. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novato, CA U.S.A. -- 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/>
