Stop Entourage from coming to front

P

philcozz

Hello,

I have left the notification preference in Entourage of "Bring
application to front" unchecked, but everytime I get new e-mail, it
comes to the front. Is there some other place that I might have a
preference checked that could account for this behavior?

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks in advance.

The odds are very good that you somewhere have an AppleScript being
activated by the MLM or by a rule, and that script contains an "Activate"
statement that brings Entourage to the front. Try disabling all your rules
and MLM to see if the problem goes away. Or, search thru all the above to
see if any are invoking scripts, and if so, check the contents of each
script.

To fix the script: Open it in Script Editor and find the line with the
single word "activate" on it, following a line "tell application "Microsoft
Entourage". Remove the "activate" line. Save the file.

As long as you run the script from the script menu or a rule (within
Entourage in other words), "activate" is not necessary.
