Thanks, but my files on the old computer are *.dbx. There are a bunch
of them, and I know where they are, (myemail in mydocs) and I have
moved them to the new computer, but I don't know what to do with them.
There are no files with a pst extension on my old computer. I was
using OE Express before I switched to Outlook 2000 on old computer, so
maybe that has something to do with this.

..dbx files are, indeed, Outlook Express files. If you don't have any
current mail in Outlook Express, you don't need to worry. Otherwise, you
can export your messages from Outlook Express (FileExportMessage) and
they'' be transferred to Outlook. If you moved the .dbx files to the new
PC, you must configure Outlook Express on that PC to use the .dbx files
(ToolsOptionsMaintenance) and then you can export their contents fo
Outlook.
