Hi Marie
It's an involved route but here goes:
C:/Documents & Settings/(User Name- Marie?)/Local Settings/Application
Data/Identities/(OE Code Number)/Microsoft/Outlook Express
This will finally bring you out where the OE folders are lodged.
I assume your OE is on C drive. If not substitute the correct drive
letter. The two items in brackets/parenthesis are unknown so you will
have to enter the ones from your system.
Hope it helps
Roger
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried
before.

Subject: [access-uk] File types and which program open what
Hi all,
On my pc I have saved some dbx files for future reference gleaned from
this and other lists.
The first time I tried to open these files the pc ask me what program I
wanted to open them with. It wanted to open wordpad, I knew this wasn't
right so I chose browse and found outlook express wasn't on the list
provided. so I looked in other programs and found outlook express there.
The trouble was that there was more than one outlook express type
program with a exe extension in the main outlook express folder to
choose from. I picked one and it is obviously the wrong one because the
dbx files won't open.
My outlook express program works properly and it must be reading dbx
files.
How do I find out what part of the program is working when I use it so
that I can choose that one to open those other dbx files stored on my
machine.
Does this make sense to anyone?
If so, please enlighten me please, I would be very sad if I couldn't
read those files anymore especially when I know they are present on the
pc.
Looking at their properties I don't see anything sttrange.
Thanks in advance..with warm sunshine from the south of France sent to
all and everyone of you.
Marie
