Is there a way to open an Ent X identity or database in Ent 98 on OS 9? > Or, is there a utility that will make the Ent X to Ent 98 conversion for me? 1. There's no such thing as Entourage 98. Entourage didn't exist until Office 2001. So you either mean Entourage 2001, or you're going to be stuck with Outlook Express 5. 2. Ent X can import from 2001, but 2001 can't import from X. Nor can OE. 3. My scripts "Export-Import Entourage X" and "Export-Import Entourage 2001" (one code opens both sets) can be used to export from X to 2001 - in fact it's the only way aside from email. So if you're talking about Ent 2001, I think this is your best bet. You can get the scripts at MacScripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> 4. If you don't have Office 2001 but only 98, things will be difficult. OE 5 cannot import MBOX files (whole mail folders) - you'd have to drag masses of individual messages form Ent as .eml files, then into OE. You can export contacts from File/Export ad import them via File/Import in OE. It won't matter that you can't export categories since OE doesn't do categories ( and a few other fields). -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- 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/> -- 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/>
