Question asked on May 11, 2016

Hi everyone. I (foolishly, it now seems) updated my "Office for Mac 2011" and now my Outlook's screwed. When I try to start it, I get the warning "There is a problem with the Office database. To use the database, you must rebuild it using the Database Utility." 

What the heck do I have to do? Or rather, who can fix this for me (since I'm not a computer pro)? I don't want to run the risk of messing things up, and have a recent Time Machine backup. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. JF
