Hi,
After browsing and trying various solutions available in the forum, I have still not been able to open my dbx file that I saved from my old machine running on windows 98. The method that should have worked was copying the dbx file into a new folder on my new machine running on XP, then importing the messages from my desktop folder via OE 6. However, I get an error when I try to select+open the folder, saying "No messages can be found in the folder ...." What could I be doing wrong here? Been 3 hours of trying now and getting irritated ![]() -wally |
