Database > migration is a far bigger pain than it need be. As Barry mentioned, the verification engine is very sensitive. I have found a secondary method of verifying the database. There are two scripts that create MBOX files of your folders. I have found that if either of these script fail, there is a corrupted message that can be indicative of database corruption. Barrry Wainwright's script "Export Folders" <http://scriptbuilders.net/files/exportfolders1.1.html> Allen Watson's script "Archive Folders" iDisk's public folder: use the Go menu to go to the public folder for allen_a_watson Look in the folder /Scripts/Entourage OS X& 2004 Download " Archive Folders" If nothing else you will have some nice back ups of your messages after running these scripts. -- Diane Ross Entourage Help Page <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/>
