When I put "dbx" into "find files" I can see the subject line of the recipe..just not the details and all these little bitty boxes..rows of them..How frustrating is that?????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ that didn't work Terry..When I asked it to find the messages in outlook express on the D drive, I just got an error saying there were no files etc.But thank you anyway. If I go to the D drive and ask to open Outlook express5, it brings up the Outlook express6 on my C drive.
