I know I'm thinking out loud, so forgive me. I got that database to open in a new identity, but it turns out to be the older of the two I'm looking for. I then located the really real database, but when I try to create a new identity and import that database the little box says it doesn't recognize any Entourage X identities in the place I specified. So I hit the browse button and copied it from my external to my G5 document folder, but still no luck. To sum up, I know I have the correct database, but can't get it open.
