Hello, i've customized two basics tasks searches: 'Overdue is overdue' and 'Due date is today'.
It worked well then sudently my today's tasks are now showing in the overdue search and not anymore in the today's search.

P.S.: i've noticed also they aren't found anymore by a 'Due date is this week' search.

Thank you for your advices.

1) You could try rebuilding your Spotlight caches in Entourage Preferences >
Spotlight.

2) Check the permissions on the folder for Entourage Spotlight cache files.
"You" should have Read & Write priviledges.

"YOUR USER FOLDER/Library/Caches/Metadata/Microsoft/Entourage"

3) Try deleting the old Entourage 2004 mdimporter file:

/Library/Spotlight/Microsoft Office.mdimporter/

Hope this helps!

@Diane: Sorry, nothing works by now.

I think you should know i've got deleted some foreign langages (including those of Office 2008), and installed Personal AntiSpam and Virus Barrier in between the "good searches-bad searches" state.

Thank you for your support.

It's not exactly clear...did you run something like monolingual?

If you did, you'll need to reinstall Office.

It's midnight for me now: i will reinstall Office tomorrow morning.

Thank you again for your support.

Ok, it's back to normal behaviour (with the cache purged i presume).

The day change made the trick for me, i guess.

I'm glad not to have to reinstall Office BTW.

Thank you.

Whew! Glad you got it working again.
