Jan, Ok, the first thing to do is to Copy those DBX files onto your USB device. The only absolutely, positively sure way I know of to do this properly is to (in Windows Explorer) select all of the files in your OE storage folder, use your RIGHT mouse button to grab one of the highlighted files and, while holding down the mouse button, drag them over to the icon in the Left pane of Explorer that represents the USB key. Once you're hovered over the USB key icon, The icon's title will change colors. Let go of the mouse button and choose Copy from the context menu that opens. You want to make sure that you select Copy from that menu because we don't want to disturb the original files until we know for sure that the files copied over to the new system perfectly. When you're finished with these instructions, you should have the files located in both the original Storage folder as well as the USB key. Let me know when you're ready for more. :O] Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Robey" <hrstreak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 8:38 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- transferring Outlook Express files via memory stick > Hi GMan, > > Went through all our past correspondence related to this situation & once > again located all the files located in the OE store.
