If you are going to back up the database, make sure the script quits all office apps AND the database Daemon (tell app "Microsoft Database Daemon" to quit) before you take the copy. Taking a copy with the daemon still running is likely to create an incomplete copy because file buffers in the daemon have not been written back to disk. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the All-New Entourage Help Pages? - Check them out: <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/>
