Recovering a damaged databse

P

Patrick Renner

Hello,

I have a database file in Entourage 2004 that seems to corrupt. When I used
the database utility to repair it, it recognised the database and the two
backups within it, but trying to do a repair I got an unknown error -5000.
I'm guessing there is no way to fix this file. Is there anywhere I could
send it to maybe get it repaired or is it just lost forever?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick

Error -5000

Messages with an attachment creates Error -5000

Attachments are stored in the Entourage Temp folder inside the Microsoft
User Data folder. This is where Entourage is trying to save the file before
it opens. Check the permissions on this folder.

Owner Access: Read Write
Group Access: Read only
Others: Read only

You can delete the Entourage Temp folder, and Entourage will create a new
one when launched.
