Hi,

Is there a way to have any new calendar or address book entry automatically
be added to a particular category? I was looking for a way to have all the
events added on via our Exchange server show up in one category and events
that I add show up in another category. I can change the category as I add
an event in Entourage but the other part has me stumped.

Thanks,

Andy

If you add a "Manual" category to every contact you add yourself (even
contacts which have other categories as well), then every contact which does
not have a Manual category must be one added by Exchange.

In your Exchange account preferences, there is an option to only sync
calendar and contact items that are on a certain category. You can choose
that option, and then the items that are on the Exchange server should show
up in that category.

To create events and contacts that automatically have this category, you can
use AppleScripts:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set c to category named "Work"
set x to make new contact with properties {category:c}
open x
end tell

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set c to category named "Work"
set x to make new event with properties {category:c}
open x
end tell
