1.  I moved the folder containing Microsoft User Data which was stowed in a Documents folder to a different folder in Documents

2. I turned on the Outlook menu item Sync Services.  

Then I wandered off to have a weekend.

Today I tried to launch Outlook and all of my data - inbox, saved folders full of sent and received messges, thousands of contacts in a score of folders, reminders, you name it, gone!

It told me that the database needed to be rebuilt and that process failed several times. Then it said it worked, but my Accounts and all the data are still MIA.

While a file called Database dated September 7 exists in my Main Identity folder there appears no way to open it.  To be exact, now, under Office 2011 Identity there are two folders, Main Identify (with Data records folder, file called Database dated today with 22.6 MB and file called Database copy dated September 7 with 157.2MB.  This is the one I would like to get at as that is where the information should be. The other folder is called Main Identity [Backed up...Date info being today and that appears completely useless.

Needless to say this situation is extremely frustrating. It had taken a month of rearranging of my historic data from a PC to achieve a highly organized system...which is gone 

:( 

Help would be gratefully accepted.
