Cant Open Old DBX folder dated 2005
How are you trying to open it?
In the message store in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx file for the folder in question and drag it to the Desktop at the top of the folder tree. Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your Desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. (You must do this). Go back to Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE store folder that you clicked on to reveal the .dbx files. Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes. *Note* If you have moved the Outlook Express store folder from it's default location on drive C to another drive, drag the dbx file to a location on that drive and not the Desktop. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "AAR" wrote in message ...
