In Office v. X (and just maybe 2004 11.0, but I don't think so), it was called "Microsoft Database Daemon". that one shouldn't be launching unless you're using Office apps from two different versions simultaneously - a bad idea. Quit one version's app and daemon before launching the other version, if you must. Check System Preferences/Accounts/you/Login Items (Startup Items in Panther). Is there more than one [Microsoft] Database Daemon there? If so, remove them _both_, quit apps, log out, log in, and open the Entourage of the Office version you use regularly. That will both launch the correct daemon and restore it to System Preferences/Accounts/you/Login Items. Just the correct one. Now you won't have conflicts. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- 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/>
