Thanks so much. However, even after moving that folder, when i try to open ent
it still says " the entourage temp folder could not be found. it is lkely that
you
have a file with the same name or an alias that doesn't point to a folder."
should i just dump office altogether and reinstall it? I do see that i
have the
ent temp folder, so im not sure why it says it cant find it.
when i search for entourage, it looks like i have the application in
office from
2001 and in templates from 2002...maybe i installed it again then, i dont
remember. would it be a problem to have it on my computer twice?
thanks again.
Quoting Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'll try to help you get your backup database going, but don't throw
away the one you are having problems with; it may be we can rescue it.
Your Entourage data is in a subfolder of your Documents folder (the
one in your Home folder, symbolized by "~":
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2001 Identities/identity-name
Where "identity-name" may be "Main Identity" or whatever you called
your main identity. Within that folder are all your mail, contacts,
etc, in a database file. Move that whole identity folder someplace
else, like the Desktop, and try launching Entourage. It should open up
in a new, empty identity.
To access your backup folder, find where you stashed it and copy the
equivalent identity folder back into "Office 2001 Identities",
renaming it if necessary, and then use the Switch Identity command on
the main Entourage menu to switch to it.
Let us know how that goes.

Hello. Im running entourage from 2001 on mac os 10.3.9 Today, I
tried to delete
my trash in entourage, since i realized it was quite full. It went
through the
process, but got stuck and never finished. I was able to click on my folders
(which showed how many messages i had in them) but no messages came
up (whereas
you normally see all the messages in your inbox). Eventually i used
force quit.
I tried to reopen Ent but it wouldnt let me so i restarted my
computer. Again,
it wouldnt let me and said it couldnt access my database, did i want to do a
typical rebuild? yes, but said error, try advanced. i tried and again
error...said compression didnt work and likely that i would not be able to
rebuild my database.
now it says the entourage temp folder could not be found. it is
lkely that you
have a file with the same name or an alias that doesn't point to a
folder. (i
did try to reinstall entourage, but apparently i messed something up
and dont
understand what i should do)
I probably backed up my entourage database about a month ago, so im
ok on that,
but since i cant get entourage to even open, im not sure what to do
in order to
have it work and how to put in my backup disk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
