Did a backup and restore of all the OE files (add book, mail, etc.)
from a WIN 98 machine to a new XP machine. seemed to work O.K.

Now being asked to do the same for another user. Only problem is,
this user had already started using OE on the new XP machine. If I
do the backup and restore routine will the data from the old machine
append to data in the new machine or over write it?

any special procedure for that?

Thanks

Ron

Put all of the files in an empty Windows folder on his hard drive and make
sure they are not Read Only. Folders.dbx MUST be included. Then you can
use OE's File Import.
