AppleScripting Exchange Public Folders

J

Jeff Zienowicz

Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm getting an "Access not allowed"
error when compiling a script with anything like the following:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set myfolder to "Contacts" in folder "All Public Folders" in
folder "Public Folders" of Exchange account "Account Name"
end tell

I've tried a number of variations on the syntax (trying "address book"
instead of folder, etc.), but before I bruise my forehead much more, I
figured I ask if anyone knows if it's even possible to work with public
folder data from AppleScript in Entourage.

My plan was to write a script to tie some info in FileMaker to a particular
Entourage public address book record. I'd use the ID field to tie the
records together and offer a button in the FileMaker layout that when
clicked displays the related contact record in Entourage.

I can imagine that there may be a (security?) reason that public folders are
off limits to AppleScript, so I thought I'd ask about this one before
putting any more time into it.

Thanks,
Jeff
