Title: Re: New User transfer data?

Hmmm, odd ‘cause I just tried it again here on my machine and it went perfectly. Someone else posted about ‘permissions’ but that has not been an issue for me and seemingly not for you either. At least, you don’t mention getting any ‘permission errors’. Odd. I’ll mull it over some more.

I followed your instructions:

Make a copy of your old Entourage stuff (User>Documents>Microsoft User Data>Office X Identities) and put it in the Users>Shared folder. Restart as the other user and drag the files into the same spot for that user.

I had two files for two previous Entourage identities:

1. “Main Identity”
2. “Source”
   

When I make copies, the new file says (for example) “Main Identity Copy.”  I put it in Shared folder, restart, drag into Office X identities.  Then (thought I should do this, but maybe I shouldn’t have), I took the Office X identities that were already there and put them in a separate folder elsewhere in the computer.  Then I eliminated the “copy” tag on my file.  I open Entourage and it still opens as if for the first time with none of my personal data.  I go to “Switch identities” and it doesn’t show any other identities available.  What have I don’t that I shouldn’t have, or what else do I need to do?
