You must have put them in the _wrong User_ Documents folder. Or you haven't quite understood. You must not have more then one MUD folder in the users' Documents folder.
Move all the individual named Identity folders from the Office X Identities folder in your old MUD folder to the Office X Identities folder in your new MUD folder in your user Documents. Since both your old and your new (empty) main identity may both be called "Main Identity" or "Your Name", you'll have to rename one of them so they can co-exist in the same Office X Identities folder. Now open Entourage, and switch identities if need be. You will be able to do so. Do NOT try to open a database file in a text editor. Do NOT move named identity folders from any Office 2001 Identities folder into an Office X Identities folder. (If you need to get data from an Entourage 2001 identity, use File/Import to import from that 2001 identity folder). Once you found your old identity successfully, if you want to bring over this new stuff from your temporary almost-blank identity, come back here and ask how. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. > From: kurt vanhoutte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 12:46:16 +0100 > To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: lost all data in entourage > > Thank you all for the suggestions, combining them I seem to be getting > progress... > > - I found that there indeed was more than one Microsoft User Data Folder > (with databases inside) on my HD > - I put them all in the Documents Folder under the User Folder. > > -Norton Utility detected two severe problems in the Catalog B-Tree (they > were repaired) > > -I managed to open the database with Textedit, the mails (some?) seem to > be spread between big chunks of cryptical symbols...
