Im trying to update some old scripts I had for work and combine them possibly.
Below are 2 scripts (Script 1 and Script 2).
They are almost identical, with the exception of a few adjustments to the summary list and range_value.
This is because Script 1 follows an old excel template, and Script 2 follows a newer updated excel template.
When Entourage sees the attachement as an excel file, it auto saves into a folder on my computer.
In the past, I only had Script 1, so it was set to run on all items as they are added to the folder. It would open each file and cipy the data needed into iCal calendar todos so that I can keep track of things better.
Now that I have 2 scripts needed to run, I need to do the following:
a - I need to add a test in the begining, before the scripts are run, so that :
If the value of cell “$E$12” is “Ceramics”, then run Script 1.
If not, then run Script 2.
b - I need to edit the scripts so that they only run when called, instead of on each item added to the folder. Only the test in the begining should be run to each item added to folder.
c - I need to make sure that when many items are added to a folder, it will run the correct script for each file. Some files may be old and need Script 1. Some files may be new and need Script 2.
Any helps would be greatly appreciated.
