Thanks Bruce (and Alias for asking). I had to go into the registry
to fix it.
Cheers, jim


Then there is an optional update for OE waiting for you at Windows
Update.

Note to others: You must be running WinXP SP2 for this update.


What's the KB number?

Thanks,

Alias

I lost it. I knew right where it was stored, but there was a glitch
in the MS newsgroups and the email is gone. I hope Steve or Jim or
Bruce or Vincent or one of the other regulars will jump in with the
article number. I'll save it better this time.


WindowsXP-KB918766-v2-x86-ENU.exe

I downloaded it and it does, indeed, set the counter back to zero with a
manual compaction. However, it also backs up the folders which gives it
a new little window that is named "copying" that pops up when it hits a
large .dbx file. I wonder to where it copies them?

Alias

It got put in the Recycle Bin! I guess it's OK to delete them because I
did and everything's OK in OE.
