Database compatibility MS Office to MS Office Home edition

[Allen_S]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

My drive died. Can't locate the install disk for Mac Office 2008 ver 12.1.5. I am going to move down to Mac Office 2008 Home Edition 12.2.

I do have a copy of the "Identities Folder" from 12.1.5 upgradeable version.

My question is, will the Home Edition read all of the files in the Office 2008 Identities folder from the previous install?

Office 2008 Identities folder from the previous install?

it shouldn't be a problem. Especially if you're not using Exchange
accounts.

Just be sure to update to the latest version of Office or you'll get this
error message.

"This Identity Cannot Be Opened With This Version of Entourage"
This message usually means, for example, any Identity saved with a 12.1.0 or
later version will not open in 12.0.0 or 12.0.1. Since there was a database
format change in 12.1.0 (SP1), Entourage 12.0.0 or 12.0.1 cannot open a
database saved in the later version.
