Thanks Allen,
I have tried that and could not compose an email, still got the blank
screen called untitled when we tried to get to the new mail.
Then I tried reinstalling Entourage. Same problem. I tried looking for
anything entourage and removing them, same problem.
The date display is still corrupted Date and Time are fine in every other
application.
It is an iMac, OS 9, and Entourage is the only open application. This
week I may get some time to experiment. I know both my sons use Entourage
on their TiBooks with OS 9.1 and no problems. But they don't have 1700
entries in the address book.
I really do hope to get my friend over to Entourage so he can do his own
big mailings, instead of asking me to do them.
