Hi,
I reloaded office mac 2008. Before doing so, I saved a copy of Microsoft User Data (from user documents folder). i also backed up my database. When I reloaded the new office mac (same version), the new Entourage does not have my contacts or in/sent data, ect...like starting from new! How can I get the old database into the new copy of Entourage?
Many thanks! Joe

Did you put your Microsoft User Data folder back where it belongs in
your Documents Folder?

It may be as simple as choosing Switch Identity from the Entourage menu.

Thanks! Switching Identity did the trick! You can bet I will keep a current backup of the database in case this ever happens again. Thank you!
