New and Improved Error Messages

Since updating to 11.2.3 and having Data Verification turned on I am
periodically getting corrupt database errors all the time now.

The message tells you to quit all MS apps and verify the data and every time
the database is fine.

I have my databases on remote drives aliased in and right after the last
nerve shocking alert, spun off a backup to DVD after the only process left
to me was rebuild with backup. The new and previous files were archived.

With the new features of 11.2.3 did we get headaches also?

None that MS are aware of!

What you may have got was improvements in the database utility that detect
more errors than the previous version.

I've seen this also after a rebuild. Personally, I believe there is some bad
interaction between the new sync services and the Database Utility that
causes false verification errors when you first start up Entourage after a
database rebuild. I've found, like you, that if I just cancel the alert,
nothing goes wrong. Like you, whenever I check later with the utility all is
well. So I have ignored the alerts that occur after a rebuild. And when I do
that, the alerts stop happening.
