The data base should be in

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity/
Inside should be the database file simply named "Database". If you fix the permissions(Get Info-> Sharing and Permissions) and it still isn't working, there is a repair tool called Microsoft Database Utility located in
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/
that should be able to fix any remaining issue with the database.

Repair Permissions doesn't touch anything in any user account, so that won't help at all. The person who started the thread also hasn't stated they're having trouble specifically with their email data, just Office in general.


Until marcheir returns to the topic and states what has or hasn't worked, we're all just kind of on hold.
