Hello

Does anyone know where I can find a AppleScript Reference for Entourage?

Herr Hess,

1. You can access the built-in Entourage dictionary by opening the Script
Editor and choosing Open Dictionary and then selecting the Entourage
application.

2. Try this excellent page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/help/script.html

3. This newsgroup is a great place to post your questions.

Good luck,

-Sam

There isn't one. (I once offered to do one for a publisher but they didn't
think it was enough for a book. I think it would be.)

Entourage 2001 had a supposed Reference, but it was just the dictionary
again in alphabetical order. Nothing more useful.

If you know how to read AppleScript dictionaries, you'll find Entourage's is
pretty good. AppleScript has been well-implemented.

Of course there are lots of "gotchas" as always with AS. Plus there are a
few undocumented tricks and shortcuts. Barry, Allen and I will usually do
what we can (we know Entourage AppleScript pretty well) on this NG. And so
do a few others.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
