No. Only if you run a schedule every 1 minute, or every 30 minutes, which
runs a script that looks at every calendar event for that day to see if it's
come due in the past 1 minute (or 30 minutes). But that won't work for
recurring events: you'd have to parse the recurence pattern of every single
recurring event every time to see if an occurrence is due that day. I do
actually have routines that can do this (it took me about 3 months to work
them out and thye're part of a shareware script set), but this contraption
has always seemed to me to be too dedious to be running from a schedule
every few minutes and maybe tying up Entourage for the minute or so that the
script might take to run, during which time you couldn't type or click.
