Options to fix: 1) Open Activity Monitor, select all processes: type in daemon. You will see the Microsoft Database daemon and the Microsoft AU daemon (this launches the auto updater.) Quit the Microsoft Database daemon(s). You might need to Force Quit. 2) Open System Preferences --> Accounts --> Startup Items. Delete all if more than one Microsoft Database daemon. 3) Open /Users/Library/Preferences. Delete the com.microsoft.OfficeNotifications.plist BASICS: Entourage creates a Microsoft Database daemon when you turn on Reminders/Notifications. The Microsoft Database Daemon allows the Reminder to work even if all MS applications are closed. The daemon is actually used all the time to access the Database. Even Word uses it. This is why you need to Quit Notifications and/or the Microsoft Database daemon when you install MS updates. It could also interfere with backup applications like Time Machine. If you have Office Notifications/Reminders enabled you will see the Microsoft Database daemon in your startup items. You should only have one. System Preferences --> Accounts --> Startup Items If you have more than one, delete them all and let one of the Office applications create a new one. Multiple daemons in startup can cause crashes. Note: Switching back and forth between Entourage 2004 and Entourage 2008 for example, creates multiple daemons. You should quit Notifications and/or the daemon before launching another version. Starting with Entourage 2004, the daemon is also used to run the option in the the Database Utility to "Verify Automatically in Background". If the daemon is turned off, "Verify Automatically in Background"

I have tried rebuilding the database (simple and advanced), replacing the Entourage application file (and the Database Daemon file for good luck) and the error message still appears. WHat might be causing this error? I must admit that as well as being frustrated at not being able to get to my mail, I am also frustrated at coding that allows an application to get into a "locked" state like this where the only way out is to force-quit an application that is not actually dead, but appears to be stuck in a loop of the programmer's making...

I have tried to rebuild the database by holding down the option key at launch and selecting both the typical and advanced rebuilds and neither one will go - the rebuild never starts. I am on a PowerBook G4, running MS Office 10.1.4. I am so frustrated - I get the mail dialogue box, but I can't see messages in my in box. I can sometimes see emails that have been filed, but it is not consistent. What should I do to fix this? Thank you so much for your help.

Entourage v.X is so old that most Office:mac users here probably never used it. Your first mistake was to attempt to fix a problem that you don't understand. Going forward: Verify that you have a problem rather than a network or server glitch. What is your email provider? What is your email protocol, POP3 or IMAP? Which OS are you running? H
