Apple Scripting Entourage 2004

[Charles Fletcher]

Hi all,

I am in the process of writing a few Apple Scripts for my new Entourage
2004. I'm trying to create events and messages that will execute from
FileMaker Pro 7. The easy part at this point, since I've got that part done.
I already have the scripts set up to create the tasks and messages.

My question is how can I tell Entourage to display a specific aspect of the
browser window? I want it to go to the mail area when I create an e-mail and
to the calendar when I create an event.

I found this reference in the Entourage dictionary ...

Class browser window: A browser window
Plural form:
browser windows
Properties:
<Inheritance> window [r/o] -- subclass of item
displayed area mail area/address book area/calendar area/tasks
area/notes area/project center area -- the functional area displayed in the
window

.... but I can't figure out how to make that into a command Entourage will
accept, such as, "set browser window displayed area to mail area" or
something of that sort.

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Charlie

Try this:
set displayed area of main window to mail area

Hope this helps.
