True, but any messages you SEND will not be transferred to the other machine. Unless you CC yourself with every message. That's why I prefer copying the whole database. Even 2 gig can be copied fairly fast if you connect the two machines with an Ethernet crossover cable, which costs only ten or twelve bucks (or can get them onto the same LAN). -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://members.thinkaccess.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- 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/>
