Hi-

I'm writing to (b) vent some steam and (a) hope that resident Microsoft
Entourage Scripting Guru (Paul! :-) ) has advise (besides use E'rage v.X).

My question:

I know E'rage v.X can be controlled in much more detain through AppleScript,
but I was wondering if anyone had some method of cheating to be able to set
a task's due date. Thanks.

4) The property due date in task is read only. I understand why ID is read
only, but due date!? I would like to be able to set a due date. But alas I
cannot either using a record when I create a task or later on.

--

Upon scripting a few items such as notes, tasks, and events, I noticed a few
things peculiar with Entourage.

1) In notes or tasks there is no properties property but there is in events.
It would have been nice if there was a properties property for them all.
2) In tasks and events the recurring property is read only. This makes
sense sort of. It could have been to hard to make the recurrences of
Entourage scriptable. But it certainly would have been a nice feature.
3) According to the dictionary, in events the property "all day event" is
noted as [r/o] but I can state whether the event is an all day event of not
using the record {all day event:true} when I create an event but I cannot
change it to false afterwards using set all day event of the_event to false.
Why did they want this property to be read only. It sure would have been
useful.
