Microsoft Database Utility not showing any database

[BrendanM721]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: Exchange When I start Entourage, it tells me the database is corrupt and that I should use the MS Database Utility to repair it. When the utility launches there is no database listed there.

I've tried moving the Microsoft User Data folder as was suggested in a previous thread. But someone closed that thread before it was resolved so there are no other answers there.

Moving it?? You shouldn't move it. If you do, Entourage won’t be able
to find it anymore...

Let me rephrase. It was suggested to move the folder, create a new DB and then move the folder back. That didn't work.

This can happen when the database is very corrupt. In addition, if you had
an Entourage v12 database that was not upgraded to v13 and you use the v13
database utility, it would only see the v13 databases.

I ended up deleting the database and making a new one. I use mobileme so all my data was backed up anyway.
