According to a listing of Mac errors, that read/write error is "tried to position before start of file". That represents some kind of serious file corruption somewhere, I would think. If you have not already done so, and if you have a copy of the original database before any rebuilds, make a copy and then try doing the Advanced Rebuild on it directly without doing the "typical" first. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> XNS name: =Allen Watson Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
