I have found that it works better (more reliably) to transfer the entire "Office 2004 Identities" folder, than to transfer any single part of its contents.
Since Mike is having these problems, that is what I'd recommend: 1. Go to /Users/Your_User_Name/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities and DELETE the entire new Office 2004 Identities folder. 2. Do not restart the computer or Entourage will create a new folder for you, and you'll have to trash that. 3. Find your backup copy of the entire Office 2004 Identities folder and drag THAT into the above location. 4. Then restart and try opening Entourage. Carol On 11/24/07 10:45 AM, "Roger S.
