How to determine the 'Me' record in Entourage

S

SteveCronin

Folks;

You can use the menu 'This contact is Me' to flag an entry in the
Entourage Address Book as yourself.

Is there a way to determine that contact using AppleScript?

I suspect you are trying to do this with en Exchange account, which is
not possible (just in case your account gets offline - the me contact
might be inaccessible, or not up to date).,
Entourage requires that you use a local contact as Me. 9even if it means
having only one contact: the Me, in the On My Computer address book).

Thanks for adding some clarity but no I am not trying to do this with
an
Exchange account.

I am running Entourage on a local mac - I want to use AppleScript to
ask Entourage:
What is the name and email address of the 'Me' record.

I see what you mean. Unfortrunately, I don't know the way to do this
through AppleScript :-\

The icon is different for the Me contact, but you should be able to sort by
name to find what's selected.

You can create a category named "me" and assign it to the contact to use in
rules etc.

You didn't really specify what you're after, but this will return some
information in the AppleScript Editor:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
name of me contact
address of me contact
end tell

Hope this helps!
