Entourage v. X: 4 GB Database Disaster

M

MacGoof

Hello !

I`m new in this group, but I have a big Problem with Entourage v. X.
A customer from me has a Database with 4 GB, all warnings ignored. Is
there any way to repair the Database ?

Entourage v. X. don`t read them and an Import with Entourage 2004
brings only 370 MB :-( THX for help !

Sorry, but your user is probably out of luck. The warnings were there for a
reason - the 4gb limit is a hard limit (it has been removed in the latest
incarnation of Office 2004).

If the user failed to heed the warnings he was given, is it too much to hope
that he/she had a recent backup?

Actually it was removed in the very first incarnation of Entourage 2004.

As "MacGoof" discovered, you cannot import an X database that exceeded the
limit into 2004 - you have to have a good X database first.

That would be the only solution, of course.
