PROBLEM ONE:
I want two User Accounts to share the same Entourage 2004 database.
I only want one Identity.
By the nature of having different Users it separates data.
I don't know whether I want to SHARE the same database or SYNC
databases or ALIAS one database.....or what.
You can't sync an Entourage database. Because Entourage stores the info in a
database you cannot sync one database with another without rewriting the
entire database.
Your best options are:
1. Create IMAP accounts
2. Use an external drive for Microsoft User Data folder with alias in
Documents folder. One user explains how they use this method:
I keep my Microsoft User Data folder on an external pocket firewire drive (a
large capacity USB thumb-drive will suffice if both machines have USB 2.0)
and just keep aliases to it in my Documents folder of all the machines I use
Entourage on (laptop, desktop and occasionally other machines I sit down in
front of for a few hours). Works like a charm and gives me an identical
environment on every machine.
You must quit the Microsoft Database daemon in order to eject the drive.
More on syncing data.
