Does anyone out there in WAMUGLand still have a copy of the last (most
recent) update file for M$ Office X? It is no longer available on the
Microsoft site (M$ having dropped support for it some years ago).
The issue is the Entourage database on a client's machine. She has
just bought a nice shiny new 20" iMac, but the Entourage database on
her old iMac is corrupt. The issue seems to be that the original
version of Office X could only handle a maximum database size of 2Gb
(at which point the database ceased to function), but that this limit
was fixed with an update. The problem is not so much with the old
email messages, but with the addresses in the Address Book. I have
tried several measures: importing into Entourage 2004, running a
little shareware app called Entouraid, rebuilding the database under
Entourage 2004, all to no avail. My feeling is that if I can update
the Office X on her original iMac and THEN rebuild, the problem may go
away.
I would be very grateful t hear from anyone who might have a copy of
the original updated file hanging around. I'm hunting around through
some of my old MacFixit CDs and various other ancient resources, but
I'm keen to deal with this more quickly than that process is going to
take!
