Simple AppleScript to open Unread View

[Lee Hinde]

I had this very simple applescript:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
open custom view "Unread"
activate
end tell

That no longer works; what's the 2008 equiv?

Thanks, in advance.

I'm not a scripter so you'll have to wait for help with the script, but I
wanted to remind you that you can drag the custom view to the Favorites bar
for easy access.

I've personally never scripted custom views but from what I've tested I
would say this appears to be broken. I can't even call it by its ID.

Please be sure to let Microsoft know what you've found by using the Help
--> Send Feedback mechanism in any Office application.

yes, scripting of custom views is broken in 2008.

every attempt to access any property of a CV returns a reference to the
entourage application. It's a bug.

Thanks everyone. I've used Diane's tip and moved Unread to the
favorites bar.
