"Find Related Items" in Entourage (like Outlook on PC)?

Hi,
I use Outlook on a Win XP machine at work and Entourage on my Mac at home. I cannot find anywhere in Entourage where there is a command that behaves the same as the "find related items" command does in Outlook. I use this extensively on my work computer because it automatically finds any messages in my inbox and sent items which belong to the same thread and allows me to quickly select all those
messages and file them in another folder together.
There is a "Find Related Items" command in my Edit menu in Entourage but it is always greyed out. From what I can read about it, it will only find "related" items which I have manually created links to. Not very helpful in my opinion. Is there a third party script or something which gives Entourage the same functionality as Outlook?

If you don't get an answer here, there is a help
newsgroup devoted to Entourage:
I tried there first and have gotten no replies. I saw that others were asking Entourage questions in this forum so thought I'd give it a shot. Any solutions I get from either forum I will make sure to post to the other forum.

Thanks,

  • Find Related Items Help

    I have two tables: (condensed version of Subject) Subject and MessageSubject
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Subject](
    [SubjectID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [Name] [nchar](80) NULL,
    [Active] [bit] NULL
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MessageSubject](
    [MessageSubjectID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [MessageID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [SubjectID] [int] NOT NULL
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    Not shown is the table 'Message' but every message has one or more subjects (MessageSubject entries)
    What I need to do is find all the subjects that were posted to a message 'with' a a given subject, not including the given SubjectID.
    My guess is a #temp table or CTE or something is the way to do it, but I can't seem to find out how to do in SQL:
    The procedure below is the format I need it to be (if possible) but here is what I am doing in C# code now:
    I currently find all the messages for a given subject:
    Then I have to query all the MessageSubject (subjects) for each message;
    IF any subjects were found for a message other than the source SubjectID (related subjects) I check my list of subjects and if the index of the new related subject is not found I add it to the list.
    This means I am performing ('x' + 1) number of queries for each Subject where 'x' = the number of messages and 1 query to find all the messages for the subject.
    I know there has to be a way to find to find the 'Related Subject', but I can't seem to get my head around it.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  • MAPI Outlook 2010 "Find Related" menu is graye out

    Dear All,
    Recently I have subject mentioned issue to solve. Last time we use Outlook 2007 and it can be used for " Find Related" message and with Outlook 2010 this item from right click on any message been grayed out. I have tried to open in safe mode and
    disabled those add-ins that other forumer adivsed but still doesnt work.
    Any idea?
    Thanks alots...

    Hello,
    You can try to open Outlook in safe mode first to check if this issue is caused by any problematic add-in. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
    If the problem would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-in to resolve the issue.
    In addition, please go to Send/Receive tab and make sure you have set your Outlook Download Preferences to "Download Full Items", then check the issue again.
    Please let me know the result.
    Thanks,

  • I am a new user of iTunes and want to download music.   The instructions are:  1. Find the item you want  2. Click the button to download.   My problem is that I can not find a download button - what does it look like please?

    I am a new uses of iTunes and want to download music.   The instructions say:

    My problem is that I can't find a download button to click.   Where does it appear please?

    Thank you a million times over.   I've literally spent hours trying to solve this and I think those responsible for compiling the 'Help' notes for iTunes would be well advised to make this point clear in the downloading instructions.

  • Can't move "completed" items into folders using Outlook 2013 on a Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium Account using a work Exchange 2010 address

    I've been in touch with several Microsoft support teams about this issue, and the latest move was to shove me off onto Pro support, but since I'm using a personal Office account, I'm hoping that through the community I can find a way to resolve this issue without
    escalating through our IT department. I do not think this is an Exchange issues because I have previously used this product and method without resulting in this error on a Windows 7 32-bit AMD computer and a Windows 8 and 8.1 Professional 64-bit Intel computer.
    Here's my current specs:
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, service pack 1
    AMD A6-5400 3.6 GHz
    8GB RAM
    Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium
    Office updates automatically, version 15.0.4551.1512
    About Outlook shows "Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4551.1511) MSA (15.0.4551.1508) 32-bit/Part of Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium"
    Here's how to reproduce the issue:
    1) Open View Settings
    2) Select "Other Settings..."
    3) Disable "Use compact layout in widths smaller than XX characters" and enable "Always use single-line layout"
    4) Select "Columns..."
    5) Under "All Mail fields" add "In folder"
    6) Select any email
    7) Context-menu -> Find Related -> Emails in this Conversation
    8) Select "more"
    9) Sort by folder
    10) Select all messages from Inbox.
    11) Use Outlook's preset "Done" function and select a destination folder
    12) Watch Outlook fail to run "Done" and reset your UI without producing an error.
    The first attempt to resolve this issue was to set up a new Outlook profile. This seemed to exacerbate the problem and resulted in Outlook providing an "Unknown error" before resetting the UI.
    The second attempt to resolve this issue was to run "outlook.exe /resetnavpane". However, the nav pane does not appear immediately relevant to this issue.  
    The following similar steps also result in a crash, this time with an error:
    11) Flag all select message as Complete.
    12) Move all messages from Inbox to a destination folder.
    This change in procedure results in the error "Cannot move the items. Some items cannot be moved. They were either already moved or deleted, or access was denied."
    Help me, Microsoft Community. You're my only hope.

    Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog) 
    You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

  • How to restore calendar items from Entourage 2008 after upgrade to Lion (10.7.5)?

    I held off upgrading to Lion because I had a bunch of old email I wanted to convert first. But now that Apple is no longer offering security updates for Snow Leopard, I decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, after the Lion upgrade most of my calendar items in Entourage 2008 disappeared (and those that remained appeared in duplicate).
    I think I should be able to access an uncorrupted version of my Main Identity folder for Office 2008 … because I have an Automator workflow that creates a daily backup, and that backup should be available through Time Machine. I turned off Time Machine after this calamity so that I wouldn't overwrite my Entourage Backup folder.
    I need the July 8 or 9 version of:  ~ / Documents / Entourage Backup / Main Identity.
    But when I select the Entourage Backup folder and open Time Machine, all the Finder windows behind the current one go dark and I can't move backward toward an earlier date (I've done this with Time Machine turned off and on). This makes me think the Entourage Backup folder has not been getting backed up recently, or perhaps ever. Ugh.
    When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
    So it seems I should be in the clear and able to access Entourage Backup.
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to restore from Time Machine? Or anything else I might be doing wrong?
    Many thanks.

    When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
    Not sure how any of this relates to a Time Capsule....one of the hardware products that we support in this forum.....but we will try to help.
    Main Identity is located as follows on your Mac:
    Macintosh HD > Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2008 Identities > Main Indentity
    Unfortunately, you have been excluding Microsoft User Data from your backups, so there is nothing to recover or restore.

  • Simulating a program like Outlook express for a Online Store

    Hi all,
    I want to create a program that should read all the information come to me on a website using my user name and password. Some times i need to edit or add information on the site. The website will have sessions and cookies enabled. I don't know how to do it. Any help in any application is greatly appreciated.
    I have a new project assigned to me. That is for my inhouse needs, I need to update the data in a site . This site will give a username and password to all the members. We are one of the members. But we have to simulate a tool to update the products in their site.
    It will be something like outlook express but not a mailing interface.
    Let me explain outlook first. Out look is getting the username and password from the user and then logs in into the users account in the website (yahoo or hotmail anything). And then they are going to the mail section and taking the mails if there were any. Same thing for composing a mail.
    But I am not considered with mails. Here the data is like product information. They may already be there, or they may be new items. I will have to keep a local database here and to synchronize this database with the website.

    Hi again.
    Well, your headed for a lot of trouble. I sugest you try to find and HTTP library and and HTML parsing library.
    If HTTP library should allow you to make the request and the HTML parsing to save the trouble of writing a parser. But you will need to know wher to find in the parsed structure the data you need. This is the problem.
    The Swing package contains an HTML parsing system: check the package javax.swing.text.html adn javax.swing.text.html.parser. Maybe these will do for the parsing and the Gets, the post I don't know...
    The experience I have with this was in building a small web server, not a client :-)
    Hope this helps,

  • Error when deleting file: Could not find this item. This is no longer located in ...

    We are setting up a new Windows 2012 server. Users access this server using a 'terminal services'. We have mapped some folders from a legacy server (different domain). Using group policy preferences, we map this folder as a drive for a user.
    When user wants to delete some files, he get's the error: 'Could not find this item ..' The error is displayed to the user and it looks like the file can't be deleted. But when I press the F5 (refresh) button, the file is gone. My problem is very similar
    to a problem in the following post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/042e747a-0e25-4190-b0a2-82f3e9635eb0/can-not-delete-file-error-is-could-not-find-this-item?forum=w7itprogeneral
    When I create 'txt' (or 'pdf', 'zip') file, i can delete it without the error. When I create 'xlsx', 'docx', 'pptx', 'bmp', 'jpg', I get the error.
    Does somebody have an idea, how can I fix the cause of this problem? (I can't tell to users to hit the F5 button everytime when they face this issue)
    Thank you for your help in advance!

  • 'You have already purchased this item, would you like to buy it again?' ISSUES

    This has happened to my twice now. I have bought songs on itunes, then at some point deleted the song from my itunes library and told it to hide it in the cloud or whatever. I only do this so that the songs that are not in my itunes library do not show as being in my itunes library.
    Then, at some point I will decide that I want that song again. So, I go into itunes store and search for it in purchased, and it does not find it. So I then search for it in itunes store again, and it shows it there with the 99p next to it. So, I click on it to buy it, and it shows the message 'You have already purchased this item, would you like to buy it again?'. At first, I clicked no, and was back to square 1, without a song and it still showing the 99p next to it. So I did a search on google and found an article that said as far as I understand to just click buy and it would offer for me to re-download it for free.
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090803000006AAKNkBB
    So, I did that and it charged me for it.
    Like I said, it has happened to me twice now, where I remeber buying a song, then hiding it in the cloud, and having to buy the song again. What can I do to stop this?? Is it a bug that I have to buy it again??

  • Does anyone know if there is a way of getting a visual timeline for tasks using Mac like outlook offers?

    I would like to organize my tasks using a programme that gives me a timeline of my tasks in a visual way like bars etc. I am using Toodledo at the moment and although it's brilliant it does not offer this option. I like outlook for this but can't find any other programms that do the same thing without having to re-insert all my tasks etc. Is there a way that ical can do this?

    I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist.  I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
    Regards.

  • Unable to Delete Folder, Could not find this item

    Currently, I'm having problem deleting an old Folder. Previously, I used its parent as a shared folder, but one day when I tried to clear that folder there is one folder that has duplicate. The problem is one of them (the old one) can't be deleted even after
    I deleted all files/folders in that folder, I can't remove/rename that folder (could not find this item) not even with cmd as Administrator. I've tried to defrag my Windows Sever 2012 but the problem still persists. How to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had this same problem using Server 2012 Std. I tried various options of taking ownership of the parent folder because the Security properties of the folder I was trying to delete were blank, using CMD and Dir /x etc. I even tried sharing
    the parent folder and then using Server 2008 R2. None of them worked. When I tried Dir /x Server 2012 doesn't show the 8 character filename with the ~1. I tried typing it in myself, but that didn't work either. I then found that there was a space at the end
    of the folder name. I then tried all the CMD options again using a space, still no luck. Then I finally stumbled upon this solution:
    Open CMD and then type:
    rd /s "\\?\D:\bad\folder\path "
    example: rd /s "\\?\D:\Sharedata\folder1\folder2 " - note the space after folder2 as per the space in the folder name. Obviously D: is the drive that has the folder on it.
    This worked for me
    I've had a similar problem as detailed above; a power shell script that I wrote incorrectly tested for the existence of a directory and created multiple instances of the same directory.
    I can confirm that the post from Rayza73 works like a charm!
    @Rayza73:  First up thanks for the information.  Would it be possible for you to describe how the command is able to find and delete the directory?
    Many thanks

  • Related Item link is broken in DispForm.aspx for a task in Workflow Tasks list if file name contains " ' " (single quote)

    Description:
    We have created a custom workflow in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This Workflow is associated with a Document library.
    This Workflow starts as soon as any new item is created OR updated in Document library and creates a Task in Workflow Tasks list.
     Related Item link is not working in following scenario -
    Upload a file that contains “ ' “
    in its name, in a document library
    Navigate to Workflow Tasks list
    Open View Item form (DispForm.aspx ) of  Task Created by workflow then click on link in Related Item fields
    OUPUT:
    Related Item link  truncates after “ ' “
    Eg.
    Original Link: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te'st.txt
    Related Item Field: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te
    Is this known bug in SharePoint 2013 OR any hotfix available to fix it.

    Hi,
    As I tested per your description, I can reproduce the issue as well.
    From what I have found out, it seems SharePoint resolve single quote into different code in different place. During the test, if I set Task Name to Document Name, single quote will be resolved to &#39; , if I set some field to Document encoded URL, single
    quote will be resolved to %27 . For now, I haven't found out any article talking about this issue.
    As workaround, we may find out a way to change the Related Item field. However, it is OOB field in workflow task (SharePoint 2013) content type, and this content type cannot be modified in form.
    I'd suggest you add new column to get document url and place in the form in Task content type settings.

  • Sharepoint Online: Find an Item box is not finding all items in a list based on keyword search

    I am using SharePoint Online.
    I have a standard SharePoint list with a "Name" field (single line of text) and a "Description" field (multiple lines of text).  The Find n Item search box is present as expected, and works very sporadically.  For example, I
    have an item with the word "white" in the Description field.  Searching for "white" doesn't find the item.  I have a number of items with the word "vending" in the Name field.  Searching for vending returns some
    of the items, but not all of them.  
    I have gone into the list settings (Advanced) and reindexed the list.
    Here are two screenshots that illustrate the issue.  The first is unfiltered. The second shows a filter on the word "vending".  Note that some are found and some are not.

    Any idea what's going on?  

    I am also experiencing an issue with the find. If not the same issue David is having, I suspect it is related, so I will describe it here.
    I created a list based on the Contacts content type and within a standard list view, entering values in the "Find an item" box will match content of some columns, but not others. The four columns that the find misses are Position(renamed from Job Title),
    Email Address, Mobile Phone, and Years Of Service (a Numeric column I added to the list). I too have re-indexed the list and retested after several hours.
    Full Name and Email Address are both native columns of the Contact content type and both are Single line of text. I am able to filter the list by finding partial matches on Full Name, but not Email Address.
