Contacts in address book are mixed up withother contacts' information

Many of the contacts in the address book either have someone else's information or contain the correct information plus additional information from another contact.

Rebuilding the database didn't help. I tried dragging all 452 contacts to a folder and end up with only about 260 vcf cards sometimes and about 280 other times. Exporting as CSV does contain all the contacts but they're still mixed up. Unfortunately the backup I have is not good.

I've been using PocketMac to sync with a Blueberry and perhaps that corrupted the Entourage address book. Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Hi,

Many of the contacts in the address book either have someone else's
information or contain the correct information plus additional
information from another contact.

Rebuilding the database didn't help. I tried dragging all 452 contacts
to a folder and end up with only about 260 vcf cards sometimes and about
280 other times. Exporting as CSV does contain all the contacts but
they're still mixed up. Unfortunately the backup I have is not good.

I've been using PocketMac to sync with a Blueberry and perhaps that
corrupted the Entourage address book. Any ideas on how to fix the
problem?

I ahve to admit that I have never ever ever seen that.
I woudl make sure Office is perfectly up to date, but it sure sounds ike
something that could have been going nasty in a Sync through
PocketMac....
