Rebuild Entourage Database

[ColeyDSapphire]

My entourage quit and now evenr time I got to open it it gives an error
stating:
"Entourage cannot access your date. To attempt to fix the problem, rebuild
your database" I hit ok to rebuild and when I try typical (and then advance
when that doesn't work) I get the same error "Compacting failed a read/write
error has occurred (-40)" ...once it fails with both tries then an error says
"Rebuilding failed. It is likely that your database cannot be repaired"

Is this true?! Please help!

I just want the file and am open to swithcing to another email program (Mac
Mail or whatever) just to recover the emails and folders. I can see where
the database file is saved in the main identify application folder...but
can't open it.
