You did get to the bottom of it. Any number of things can cause database corruption, sooner or later. If it recurs in less than 6 months, I would check your hard disk - get and run DriveGenius or Disk Warrior to check for disk integrity and do a de-fragmentation.
In the meantime you've discovered that you're low on RAM, so get more. But that has nothing to do with the problem you it. "Not enough memory" is probably an error message left over from OS 9. MacBU should provide a better "generic" message if they don't think it's worthwhile to actually track down and specify exactly what the error is - quite possibly they can't if it's outside Entourage as I suspect it is. -- 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.

Though I feel as if it would be nice to get to the bottom of this? I wonder if the memory numbers I quoted trigger alarm bells with anyone? I can¹t interpret them, unfortunately Barbara I have in System memory: wired: 92MB Active: 440 MB Inactive: 225 MB Used: 757 MB Free 9 MB (scarily low???)

I.e. it's a faulty description on a generic error that can be triggered by all sorts of things. So I wouldn't count on extra RAM solving the issue, though you never know. Have you tried the other suggestions? In particular, hold Option key down while launching Entourage, and choose Rebuild Database. Does that fix it? If it so happens that memory does in fact play any part in this, then rebooting your computer and launching only Entourage without other apps running might avoid the problem. Does it?

If you use programs like that, why do you have so little physical RAM?
