Did you quit the Database Daemon on both machines prior to synchronization? Do so by opening Process Viewer (HD/Applications/Utilities/Process Viewer), locating the Database Daemon, and going to File -> Quit Process. You can also do it by using a script, as described here: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/daemon.html> -- Mickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) PowerPoint FAQ featuring PowerPoint:mac: <http://www.pptfaq.com/> Entourage Help Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> -- 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/>
