You can run it from the Entourage Script menu, but the Daemon might just
open again, unless you also "Turn Off Office Notifications" in the Entourage
menu. You can't rebuild Entourage's database when Entourage is open.

That means you haven't upgraded to Office 10.1.1 or 10.1.2. Do so. Data Fork
scripts will then run in Entourage's script menu. Apple's Script menu
prefers data fork scripts, but it will run short resource-fork scripts. For
now, anyway. Apple is moving towards removing resource forks from files
eventually. In the meantime they are "setting an example" by putting
resources into the (main) data fork. It makes files more portable to Unix
and Windows computers, and removes some of the Mac functionality we're all
accustomed to.
(What do you mean you "don't have Script Editor"? Everyone has Script
Editor.)

It's a little cluttered already, how I wish for the OSA Menu from 9!
Use subfolders. (Except with perl scripts, pace JD.)

Well, remember how Outlook Express would crash at ~50 MB?
But Entourage does not do that. That's why you moved to Entourage, remember?
Their database technology has improved enormously since OE 5: 3 major, major
upgrades since then. Databases in Entourage X post, especially post SR-1 and
10.1.1 are much, much more dependable. Entourage post SR-1 can have 4GB
databases.Quite a difference. Don't rebuild when not necessary. NOT good.

That just may mean it's already quit.
What do you mean "running an application from a script"????

I'm afraid it doesn't. ;-) More explanation?
