Is there a way to "complete" a project?

A

Aldo Cimino

In Entourage, one can complete a task and select viewing preferences to only
show uncompleted tasks. Can this be done with projects in Entourage 2004?
Thus far, although the AppleScript dictionary shows a "completed' property
for projects, I don't see an obvious way to "complete" a project.

Have I missed something?

Thanks,

Aldo

Good catch. It just demonstrates the general cruddiness of project
scriptability. You can in fact set a project's completed to true, but
there's no change in the UI. It's just possible that the scriptable property
is "ahead" of some UI property that does not exist yet. That would be nice.
<ore likely, it's just a shoddy implementation. But since about half of
every person who writes here about projects asks for some way to complete or
disable a project, maybe we'll get it in a later release. Then the
AppleScript 'completed' property can be made to correspond with that new
feature.

No - you found something.
