MS User Data Entourage import issue

[merkaba22]

I have saved the MS User Data from Office X prior to whiping my HD clean for a rebuild ... A new install of Office X creates a new MS User Data folder automatically when opened. When I choose the import option in Entourage X there is no listing for the current version and when I select another version, Entourage 2004, for example, only the new "Main Identity" shows with today's date. I can hit "browse" so it will "see" the original "Main Identity" and select it but after clicking OK, only the new "Main Identity" shows with today's date is shown and defeats the import.

I have also tried Office 2008 > File > Import >"Entourage information from an archive or earlier version "> and tried either option Entourage 2004 or Entourge X and have the same experience: only the new identity shows with the new installs' date. I can hit "browse" so it will "see" the original and select it but after clicking OK, only the new identity shows with today's date is shown and defeats the import."

Big issue?!?!?

Tank you inadvance

The only thing you needed to do in the 1st place is replace the newly created Microsoft user data folder with the one you backed up. I would do it in a clean install of Office X first then upgrade to a newer version later if you wish.

I just got a version of Office 2004 and have an import via "other applications" which oddly includes Office X in process ... yikes.

I tried to import the 2004 MUD file into office 2008 and it would not work so now I will export the data into an archive and then import to Office 2008 and that works -- also, you can drag the 2004 data to the desktop where a m.box file will be created which 2008 can also import!
