should add that under apple security/firewall item i have "automatically allowed signed software to receive incoming connection" and that entourage, word , excel, pp are in "allow incoming connection" mode. it seems my instructions to allow incoming connections and database corrections are not obeyed.

The preferences for the database utility are probably corrupted. You
can try trashing them to see if the problem then goes away.

Tha's a different question. I've had that as well and it's related to a
corrupted pref in the System,
I cleared it by going to the System preferences, and in Security, I
deleted Word from the list of approved applications for the firewall.
I then manually re-added it to the list and the problem was gone.

Il ne manquera rien du tout. Je ne sais même pas à quoi servent ces
préférences.
Je ne me souviens plus du nom précis du fichier, mais en général, et
pour gagner du temps, je me rend dans le dossier
~/Bibliothèque/Preferences et j'utilise la recherche rapide en haut à
droite pour rechercher « database » (par nom) dans le dossier
sélectionné.
Les options se restreignent rapidement
Le fichier doit s'appeler quelque chose comme
com.microsoft.entourage.database_utility.plist
