Accidental Deletion of a Group's Addresses

J

Judy

When attempting to delete an individual from a very large group, I
somehow deleted the whole group from my Entourage Address Book. It will
be tedious to redo the list of addresses. Can I get the group's
addresses back from my external backup in some easy way? Is there a
file of e-mail addresses which I can drag over to my internal drive to
restore the deletion from Entourage? If so, where would I find this
file? Thanks for any help anyone can give.

The address book is kept inside the single 'database' file, alog with most
other entourage data.

This is to be found in "~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004
Identities/[your identity name]/Database"

Restore the identity, save the contents of the group, then switch back to
the current database and re-import the data
