Synching Entourage on 2 macs

Q

Quentin Harriott

I have Microsoft Office X on my TiPB and have just bought a G4
Powermac also with Office X. I use the TiPB when travelling and will
use the PM in the office. I would like to have Entourage on each Mac
automatically sychronise when connected over the LAN so that I don't
have to manually update the calendar, contacts, tasks etc. Is this
possible and if so how??
TIA & Happy New Year

I use Applescript to accomplish this task. Unfortunately both copies of
Office must be not running for the trick to work, then you need to logout
both machines for the changes to happen, thanks to a cranky "Microsoft
Database Daemon".

Actually, I haven't tried it in recent versions. Maybe they have made it
easier.

Your best bet is to use an IMAP account.

It's not possible to sync with Entourage. Some users just copy/replace the
Microsoft User Data folder.

Export-Import Entourage X
Export-Import Entourage 2001

<http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/category.php?search=export-import>



That allows export/import of data (not mail). A collection of over 50
scripts to export and import almost everything - Contacts, Groups, Calendar
Events, Tasks, Notes, Messages, Folders, Accounts, Signatures, Mailing Lists
and Categories - from one identity of Entourage X to any other, to and from
Entourage 2001, and to transfer Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes to and
from other PIM programs on the Mac and Windows, with special converters for
Microsoft Outlook, Excel and other programs.

Scripts will export
everything as tab-delimited text. They can also import them back again, or
into another identity. if you ever need to. You can also open these files in
Excel, which makes them easier to "read", and there are some Excel scripts
in there too which can help manipulate them for various purposes. That
allows export/import of data (not mail) between Outlook and Entourage.
