HD/Users/USER_NAME/Documents

HD/Users/USER_NAME/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities

Now Exit from Entourage and rename database file. To change the name of database file you need to locate this folder-

HD/Users/USER_NAME/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/IDENTITY_NAME

1. Copy this database file that is contained in Microsoft User Data folder which you have copied in step 1 to IDENTITY_NAME folder which was automatically created in step 2.
