Apr 19, 2018 Step 2: Create a new Microsoft User Data folder The first time that you open Entourage, a new 'Microsoft User Data' folder is created in the Documents folder that is provided by the Mac operating system. The Microsoft User Data folder contains an Office 2008 Identities folder that stores the Entourage database for each identity.

If a problem such as Outlook data corruption occurs, Office 2016 for Mac automatically repairs and rebuilds the Office database for you.

Supported SQL offerings
- This version of Azure Data Studio works with all supported versions of SQL Server 2014 - SQL Server 2019 (15.x) and provides support for working with the latest cloud features in Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse. Azure Data Studio also provides preview support for Azure SQL Managed Instance.
Upgrade from SQL Operations Studio
If you are still using SQL Operations Studio, you need to upgrade to Azure Data Studio. SQL Operations Studio was the preview name and preview version of Azure Data Studio. In September 2018, we changed the name to Azure Data Studio and released the General Availability (GA) version. Because SQL Operations Studio is no longer being updated or supported, we ask all SQL Operations Studio users to download the latest version of Azure Data Studio to get the latest features, security updates, and fixes.
When upgrading from the old preview to the latest Azure Data Studio, you will lose your current settings and extensions. To move your settings, follow the instructions in the following Move user settings section:
Move user settings
If you want to move your custom settings, keyboard shortcuts, or code snippets, follow the steps below. This is important to do if you are upgrading from SQL Operations Studio version to Azure Data Studio.
If you already have Azure Data Studio, or you've never installed or customized SQL Operations Studio, then you can ignore this section.
- Open Settings by clicking the gear on the bottom left and clicking Settings.
- Right-click the User Settings tab on top and click Reveal in Explorer
- Copy all files in this folder and save in an easy to find location on your local drive, like your Documents folder.
- In your new version of Azure Data Studio, follow steps 1-2, then for step 3 paste the contents you saved into the folder. You can also manually copy over the settings, keybindings, or snippets in their respective locations.
- If overriding an existing installation, delete the old install directory before installation to avoid errors connecting to your Azure account for the resource explorer.

Move and hide the Microsoft Office User Data folder
I had to restart the finder for this change to take effect.
Also, if you don't have the backup issue that the author has, you can just make the existing folder invisible without creating the alias.

I tried simply to hide the folder using the command, and got an error message because of the spaces in the folder name. So I retyped the command, pressing Tab after Microsoft, and Terminal entered the required backslash prefix to the spaces automatically. After a relaunch of the finder (via Cmd-Opt-esc), the folder is invisible. Thanks!

Be careful. If you use Entourage, your life is also kept in that User Data folder. You might want that backed up.
That's so fabulous! I just did it with my 'iChats' folder, too (gotta save 'em for work reasons). Finally! I've been wondering about that forever..
Be careful if you've moved the iChats folder and made an alias to it! Because Apple *still* has not implemented proper support for Mac OS aliases in Cocoa, iChat cannot follow an alias. If you've replaced the transcripts folder with an alias, iChat won't complain, but it also won't save any transcripts. I spent some time on this because I want to be able to put the iChat transcript folder where I want, not where Apple wants. My final solution:
-Leave the iChat transcript folder ('iChats') in your Documents folder.
-Make an alias from the transcripts folder to wherever you want the iChat transcripts folder to 'really' be (i.e. where you will access it from). Name it whatever you want.
-Now make the original transcript folder (in the Documents folder) invisible. The alias you created will still be visible and it will still open the transcripts folder.

Ummm..
I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but this is *all unnecessary.*
Just drag your Microsoft User Data folder to your Library (~/Library/) and Office will find it there just fine, and never create a new one in your Documents folder.

didn't work for me. MS just went and created a new User Data folder to replace the one I just moved.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I just tried it, and Word did re-create the Microsoft User Data in my Documents folder. Perhaps there is more to the trick than your post suggested?
Move and hide the Microsoft Office User Data folder
Hi,
It has worked for me.
I moved the Microsoft User Data folder to /User/xxx/Library/Application Data while Word was opened.
After having closed Word then re-opened it, the Microsoft User Data folder was NOT re-created in my Document folder.
So, the SetFile command is not the only solution to get rid of this folder.
Bye,

Re: Move and hide the Microsoft Office User Data folder
My folder gets recreated in Documents when I try this. Running 10.3.2 with latest MS Office updates on a relatively clean system, no haxies. I tried moving to my Library folder, Application Support, and I created an Application Data folder. Didn't work, and that doesn't surprise me.

thanks so much man. i applied for an account on this message board just to thank you. i appreciate an explanation like urs which is easily understandable by a new Mac convert. it means a lot

Yeah its pretty annoying that Apps create folders in Documents. Appleworks, MS, Inspiration and Adobe Acrobat all do this too. My backup script I have contains a list of folders to ignore. So its pretty easy to add in new folders and such.

I have to say that this 'feature' is the one reason I have stayed with Entourage instead of mail. I move between computers and can simply copy this one folder to take all my mail with me. With Mail.app, I would have to copy my preferences separately (or so I believe).
I could get around this using aliases on all the machines I use but its not as neat as the office solution.

When you said 'take all of my mail with me' did you mean that literally, or did you also mean take all of the minor window prefs for Mail? You could just copy ~/Library/Mail from one to the next. This folder contains all of your mailboxes and everything, including the accounts.
There is one preference file, that is ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. So may be that my post is not such a riposte, but the prefs file is pretty limited. Anyway, there is not much more than with the MS Data folder. When I back up or transfer the Mail data I do not bother with the prefs file.

Great hint. I moved a bunch of folders into the Application Support folder in my Library.
One question though, why do you have the /. in the path to the SetFile program? I've never seen that. Isn't /Developer/Tools/SetFile the proper way to do it? What's the /. for?

Well dammit, this is a whole new thing. After how many years. . . Just opened Entourage '04 and it acted like that MSUserData Dolder was always in /User/Library/Preferences.
Sure is nice to have the Documents Folder back for my own use. I had such an arcane thing going, just to have my own files. Thank you! [10.4.5, AlBook]
