Hi Diane (and all), I have had continued issues with a corrupting database and at a total loss on what to do now. I seem to be able to use Entourage for 3-5 days and it has a total corruption. This has been going on since about May or June (and is very stressful)
Per Diane's instructions I have done: *reinstall Office 2008 to be up the most current version * a rebuild, exporting all Mboxes, contacts and calendar *created a new idetity (from scratch and even on a seperate computer) *had my Hard Drive replaced and reinstalled all new software For the past month I have used Entourage on a different computer and had no issues. So 5 days ago I tranfered my Main Identiy to my machine and last night symptoms have started again: *go to contacts and while doing a search it won't find the contact *closes down and when verifying it says to rebuild *upon rebuild it bloats (from 240 mb to 290mb) *ran compact and it went down to 240 again I use sync services so that Apple Mail and iCal match up with Entourage so my iPhone is up to date. I have asked if syncing with Mobile Me might be causing issues and was told no. I have had my HD replaced and now it is happening on my machine again, was fine on the other machine for about a month. The damage seems to be in my contacts, calendar appears to be fine. Does anyone know of software that might be casuing this corruption (it appears to be that some "contacts" get corrupt. I currently do not see any corrupt contacts but that is what seems to happen. I have seen some before and painstakenly removed any "quirky" contacts. Could it be a logic board issue? I have no other issues with other programs? I love Entourage and am really resistant to moving over to Apple Mail and iCal, but am at a loss of what to do. Diane do you have any other suggestions? Logic Board? I have several ACN at a loss on what would be causing this database corruption again and again. I delete old messages from my delete folder daily and am using an IMAP account. Sorry for the long email but wanted to provide all the data I could to be clear. MacBook 10.5.7 4GB RAM most current version of Office 08 Thank you again for this great list.
