Thank you for the quick reply! No go. I get the end-of-file message even if I move the identity to a different computer. I also tried shutting down the notifications. The AppleScript would be fabulous, if it only worked without Entourage actually running! I am resignated to use BBEdit to recover as much info as possible from the database, but I'd really need more info on that process. Anybody tried that? How can I extract the address book from this database, BTW? If anybody asks me, I think that putting everything in a big, fat database file without advanced recovery tools is a bad idea! -- Fran�ois Trudeau [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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/>
