Well, there wasn't, but there is now:


set date0 to date "1/1/1904"
set today to (current date)
set time of today to 0
set yesterday to (today - (1 * days))
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set procrastinators to every task whose due date = yesterday and
completed is false
repeat with procrastinator in procrastinators
tell procrastinator
set due date to today
(*set reminderTime to remind date and time
if reminderTime ‚ date0 then set remind date and time to
(reminderTime + (1 * days)) *)
end tell
end repeat
end tell


Save it as a script in the Entourage Script Menu Items folder. If you want a
new reminder a day later than the original reminder, remove the (* *) and
re-compile and save. Run this script from a Schedule set to Repeat every 1
day at 12:01 AM.
