More Entourage database problems

T

Tom Brekke

My Entourage suddenly quit on me! I was working in Entourage when it
suddenly shut down, and I havent been able to open entourage or access
the database since (1,9 GB by the way).

I use Microsoft Office X (version 10.0.0) on a Power Book G4, running
OSX 10.2.8

I´ve been reading through recent q & a´s and I have tried a lot of
different suggestions to fix this problem:

Iv´tried Typical Rebuild & Advanced Rebuild but rebuilding failed.
(read/write error -40, it´s likely that your database cannot be
repaired)

I´ve tried Norton Utilities (and updated virus scan just to make
sure...)

I´ve tried Disc Utility to verify and repair problems

I´ve tried removing the microsoft folder from my preference folder

I´ve even tried the fsck -y test in terminal window, but the hard disk
seemed to be fine

Are there any other suggestions that can help me fix this problem?
My Entorage have been running without problems since I bought it, I
use it every day at my work and this is my first ever problem with it.

I´ve made a back up, but I made it after the problem occured (stupid
me), will this data be useless, or can I try to import if I have to
reinstall Entourage?

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated as this situation
drives me nuts and affects my ability to do my job properly.

You need to upgrade to Office 10.1.2 and 10.1.4 (in that order!): you can
get the updaters at the MacTopia website. The rebuilder is constantly
improved - it's been greatly improved three times since v10.0.0.

After updating to 10.1.4 or 10.1.5, do an Advanced Rebuild.
