But it creates no "Old > Database" when it does this... Since you seem to have what would have been the "old database" there are a couple of things you can try. Be sure you name this database so you can find it for the process. Get Paul Berkowitz's scripts (shareware and worth every penny). There is a demo for a limited number of messages that you can run to see if the scripts can retrieve your data from the corrupted database. Export-Import Entourage X <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/category.php?search=export-import> Use the scripts, Export-Import Entourage to export everything Then Import using scripts Export-Import Entourage Rebuild the DB Be sure you have upgraded. To be sure you have the latest see the version page on how to check: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/version.html#Anchor-Currentversion> Let us know how this goes. Other than going into the database with a text editor for the last 60 days, that's about all I can suggest. See http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/database.html for how to use text editor on database. -- Diane Ross MVP Entourage (MVPs are volunteers) Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- 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/>
