Entourage Migration - ERROR

Guest

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to migrate my Entourage X data over to a new boot HD in prep for
an upgrade to 2004. I used a syncronizing utility to copy the Identity info
from my current user Home folder to a duplicate Home Folder on the new HD
but I'm running into an error:

My current setup is

"BOOTDRIVE/Users/myUserName/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X
Identities/MainIdentity"

The new setup path is exactly the same except it starts from the
NEWBOOTDRIVE

Entourage says it cannot open this Identity or any identity or a new
identity when I start up from the new boot drive. If I log in to the
computer as not the admin but as myUserName, it says [insufficient
privileges, contact admin to give privileges and move the UserData folder
out of the Applications folder]. But I am not in the app folder. I'm in the
user documents folder. Moving the UserData folder to the desktop or any
place else it still fails.

If I log into the computer as ADMIN and I start up Entourage, it asks to
rebuild the database to recover it, but it fails and will not let me start a
new user, import, or open existing identities.

Any help appreciated.

You might find more help on a general Mac talk list since this really isn't
an Entourage problem. I suggest the Mac-L list.

FWIW, whenever I want to copy Entourage over to another drive, I just drag
it over to the Documents folder. I do use the same user name and passwords
though.

That's what I did, I just didn't understand the message about removing the
db from the applications folder since I didn't have enough permissions... It
seemed Entourage was asking me to do something... And might have known the
answer.. :)
