Whenever you do a Rebuild (or Compact) now in 2004, instead of getting an "Old Database" file _inside_ your Identity folder (which is complicated to reset to use if you should have to, and easy to forget about trashing if you don't need it), you now get the entire pre-built identity folder, untouched, as a "[Backed up date]" identity. So if there was a problem with the rebuild, just select that backed up identity in Switch identities. If all is well and you don't need it, trash the whole thing. All the files needed have been copied and rebuilt to the new replacement identity folder. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
