Andy,
If you go to Tools, Options, within OE, then go across to the Maintenance tab,
which is the last one, you can tab around to get to the Store folder button.
"Enter" on this and you'll get a path where your folders are stored. You can
copy this path and go to the relevant folder. If you have a problem doing
this, let me know and we could chat over the phone while you do it if you like.
You should be able to search though for DBX files as part of a filename,
looking under "all files".
