Whoopee.
Thanks a million for that link and helpful advice.
Did a search for 'hidden files' and have found them, hidden away in some
folder or other!!!
I'm sure I can get it from here or at least find some internet help but am I
right in thinking I can just copy/move them in block to the new .dbx store
folder?
Just cut and paste? Is it ok to overwrite the exisitng 'empty' folders
that have the same name [inbox, sent, etc] and allow the extra dbx folders
that I created originally [plus newsgroup folders] to just be copied/moved
into the new dbx store folder. Or is there some import task or other I
need to go through.
Thanks again for this help, it is much, much appreciated..

Regards

eric

The dbx files are hidden, so you have to search for hidden files.

Are you sure you had the store set to local and didn't hack it to reside
on the network? That would account for the problems, if you did.
