Still need tips -
What type of file are you attempting to access? What is its extension?
You cannot just open a DBX file and read it if that's your intention. In any case, there's not enough info in your post to really be of much help.

I'm sorry - .dbx file ext and .. I know I lost my mail once and thought I
was able to recover mssgs by going to the folders on my hard drive. I don't understand what the 'invalid font file' is all about. In any case thank you for the response I'll take a look at the link "Jim Pickering" wrote in message ... What type of file are you attempting to access? What is its extension?

A dbx file is a database file and as such, is only readable when opened in
Outlook Express. There are utilities that can extract the contents of a DBX file as individual eml files and that might be helpful to you. See the info about DBXtract at this link for some information about it: www.oehelp.com -- Jim Pickering, MVP-Outlook Express Please reply only to newsgroup. "janedoe" wrote in message ...
