Entourage under Panther can't read database made in Jaguar

P

Peter Conn

This is the second time my Entourage database has fried and neither
'rebuild database' or 'advanced rebuild database' can save it.

So I went back to the last good Main Identity I had which was on my G4
Jaguar machine and brought it over.

To my dismay, Entourage says that it cannot open it because it is the
wrong version. Entourage itself is exactly the same version on both.

When I open Entourage, it gives me the choice of 3 identities:
1) my recent sorely lost version which it can't rebuild (error -40 and
yes I ran fschk and drive was fine)
2) my identity folder from the Jaguar machine which it says is the
wrong version
3) and my pathetic new one which has only today and yesterday's mail

I saw a similiar posting on this site where the solution turned out to
be that the person had the identity folder in the wrong place. that is
not my problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds to me like Entourage thinks it is a different version. How about
copying the program over?
