Dave, you must have heard by now of my scripts that will import contacts,
calendar, notes and tasks from Outlook to Entourage. You do seem to
studiously avoid mentioning them, for reasons best known to yourself.
Export-Import Entourage X, from
MacScripter.net <

There's a "Synchronizing.rtf" document that describes a rather complicated
way of synching regularly. Personally, I think I'd find it too much bother
myself. But it does work.
If I ever get any free time, I might come up with a new version that would
do much simpler automatic synching from Entourage 2004 (can't work in X).
But I don't know how much of a market there would be for this. It would be a
lot of work and would have to be a paid upgrade. In the meantime, the
current version does work.
