Title: Re: Entourage Signature Question

When did you last try the Help for Entourage 2004?  It's not useless at all.

Well, since I am working from a PC right now, I don't have access to the help file and since I have found the help file to be pretty useless everytime I have had problems, it is not an automatic habit. But I'll give it a try. <G>

<G> I have several  thousand quotes. I have a several mb  datafile.

The "Signatures" file is a separate file from the database, also  in the same Identity folder. It's also possible it became corrupted, although  much much less likely.

Now for the stupid question  ... how do I rebuild the  database?

Instead of our telling you, why not get into good habits. Go to  Help menu/Entourage Help, and type in "Rebuild database". You can also make a  note of the URL in my signature.

 
As for the random  quotes, does that mean that if I chose just one of the signatures, anyone of  the sigs with the box checked will rotate in randomly and I won't just get  the same sig over and over  again?

No. You have to select them all (or as many as you want) to be  random. The sigs mark as random are the ones that rotate randomly as random  sigs - as you might expect.

Thanks for the script! I  will definitely try it. <G>

It's one of the most venerable Entourage scripts in  existence - with a noble heritage.
