Here are a couple of answers given earlier (if you had searched the archives for "4361" you'd have found these):
When you first attempted to rebuild, Entourage probably only partly succeeded, with the resulting database being useless. However, your original database should still be there in your identity folder, renamed "Old Database". Find that file and make a copy of it to fall back to. Delete the "newer" database file. Then, try the advanced rebuild. That <may> work. Also, try trashing your preferences files before the rebuild: Preferences can be found in your user folder: Library: preferences: The entire MS folder. Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/ all com.Microsoft.*.plist ========== Have you tried the archives of this list? Or the link at the Entourage website at Mactopia? : "Rebuild the Entourage database": <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/library/feature_articles/ent/t_rebuild_databas e.asp> Those would be the places I would look. Some people did not get a solution, but several hundreds or thousands have fixed this. Follow the guidelines in the above article for removing the preferences files from the corrupted Identity folder, and if necessary from System Folder/Preferences/Microsoft/Entourage Preferences , give Entourage as much memory as you have available on your computer when all other apps are closed, make sure you have as much free space on your hard disk partition where the Microsoft user data folder lives as the Main Identity folder occupies (enough for the Messages, database files to be re-created and then some) and try an Advanced Rebuild again. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://members.thinkaccess.net/allenwatson@;thinkaccess.net/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2002 08:25:27 -0500 > To: mac Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Major problem: Error (4361) > > User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.1 > Hello- > > I fired up my version of Entourage for X (10.1.1 2418) this morning and I got > the error that "Entourage can not access your data.
