I lost all of my contacts, emails, calendar. I did move the Microsoft User Data file I believe from my hard drive to my documents. When I moved it back nothing happened so it's sitting in my documents.
Thanks

Double check that it's in the right place and with the right name for
each folder you might have renamed.
It should come back without any problem.

The "Microsoft User Data" folder HAS to be in ~/Documents.
(you could use an alias or a symlink, but that's a different issue).

The Microsoft User Data folder is *supposed* to be in your Documents
folder. For the proper folder structure, see
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/database/index.html#db1>.

Once you've put everything back where it belongs, you may need to
choose Switch Identity from the Entourage menu.

If you moved it and re-started entourage, a new (and empty) MUD folder
will have been created in the Documents folder.

You will need to find your old one (it should be _much_ bigger than the
new one) and place that in the Documents folder, removing the new one first.

Then, log off and back in and restart Entourage.
