Hi Jim, There's a part of the wizard where you can tell it to search a different location for the DBX files. Then you have to use a treeview to point to the folder where you've stored your backup copy. I've done this with several versions of MS Outlook and Outlook Express, under different versions of Windows on different machines and it has always worked in the past. Cheers.
