Make sure you place them in the Entourage Scripts folder in your Microsoft User Data folder and use at your own risks \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>A first set of scripts will save category names in the notes. A second set will read the notes and use the information found there to restore the categories.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s pretty straightforward. You can also edit the scripts to take a look at the code.<br \/>\nThere is another advantage. Entourage 2004 can sync it&#8217;s address book to the system address book (AB) if you are running Tiger.<br \/>\nNotes will sync to the AB through SyncServices. You can use the script to save the category names in the Notes and perform a simple search in the AB to find all the contacts of a category. You can then drag the contacts to the group you want in the AB. It&#8217;s a little basic, but it allows you to get all the categories back in the AB.<\/p>\n<hr align=\"center\" \/>\n<p>La synchronisation avec Exchange par Entourage souffre de s&eacute;rieuses limitations : on ne peut synchroniser les cat&eacute;gories avec le serveur. Par cons&eacute;quent :<br \/>\n1) on ne peut synchroniser les cat&eacute;gories avec un autre ordi<br \/>\n2) si on reconstruit la base d&#8217;Entourage, &ccedil;a force l&#8217;application &agrave; ret&eacute;l&eacute;charger tous les contacts avec le serveur. Celui-ci n&#8217;ayant pas les cat&eacute;gories, elles sont perdues.<\/p>\n<p>Il y a un certain temps, j&#8217;avais fait un simple script pour enregistrer les informations des cat&eacute;gories dans le champ perso 8 des contacts (pour pouvoir les restaurer plus tard). Barry Wainwright a mis en ligne sur son site <a href=\"http:\/\/homepage.mac.com\/barryw\/weblog\/files\/storecats.html\" target=\"_top\">une version tr&egrave;s am&eacute;lior&eacute;e pour les entr&eacute;es du calendrier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>J&#8217;ai repris le code de Barry et l&#8217;ai adapt&eacute; pour calendrier et carnet d&#8217;adresse pour tous les comptes d&#8217;Entourage.<br \/>\nLes scripts n&#8217;ont pas &eacute;t&eacute; beaucoup test&eacute;s (je les utilise et tout va bien pour moi pour l&#8217;instant), mais &ccedil;a ne pourrait pas nuire de faire une sauvegarde du carnet d&#8217;adresse et calendrier avant de les lancer :-><\/p>\n<p>Les scripts de Barry sont sous licence <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/uk\/deed.fr\/\" target=\"_top\">Creative Commons<\/a> , ce qui me convient tout &agrave; fait. Les nouveaux scripts sont donc &eacute;galement distribu&eacute;s sous la m&ecirc;me licence.<\/p>\n<p>Voici <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cortig.net\/files\/Categories_Entourage_scripts.zip\">les scripts<\/a>. Placez-les dans le dossier des scripts d&#8217;Entourage dans le dossier Donn&eacute;es Utilisateur Microsoft. Utilisez-les &agrave; vos risques et p&eacute;rils \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Un premier ensemble de scripts copie le nom des cat&eacute;gories dans le champ note et un second ensemble lit le champ note pour restaurer les cat&eacute;gories si besoin est. Assez simple d&#8217;utilisation.<br \/>\nVous pouvez-bien entendu &eacute;diter le code des scripts pour y jeter un coup d&#8217;oeil.<br \/>\nUn autre avantage: le champ note se synchronise avec le carnet d&#8217;adresse syst&egrave;me (pas SyncService si vous avez activ&eacute; l&#8217;option dans Entourage 2004) sous Tiger. Gr&acirc;ce &agrave; ces scripts, vous pouvez transmettre, par les notes, le nom des cat&eacute;gories au carnet d&#8217;adresse syst&egrave;me et utiliser un simple recherche pour trouver tous les contacts d&#8217;une cat&eacute;gorie et les glisser dans le groupe voulu dans le carnet d&#8217;adresse. Rudimentaire, mais &ccedil;a permet de retrouver les cat&eacute;gories dans le carnet d&#8217;adresse syst&egrave;me.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synching with Exchange in Entourage has a serious limitation: it doesn&#8217;t sync categories: 1) you can&#8217;t sync the categories to another computer 2) if you rebuild your database, all the data (that doesn&#8217;t have any information about categories) is redownloaded from the server and all the categories are lost.
