If that URL doesnąt load it up properly, here it is in full:
property targetDate : date "25 December 2004 "
property dateSteps : 7
property startReminders : date "1 december 2004"
set newtargetDate to targetDate
repeat
if newtargetDate < startReminders then exit repeat
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to make new event with properties
{subject:"" & (targetDate - newtargetDate) div days & " days to go!", start
time:newtargetDate, all day event:true}
set newtargetDate to newtargetDate - dateSteps * days
end repeat
