Hi GMan, Followed these directions & the transfer went well. How do I find my address book & import it? I will be ready to transfer the information to my laptop. There are some folders already in the laptop OE that I would like to keep...but I wouldn't die without them. When do the directions change for the transfer into the laptop? Is there a way to transfer programs from one computer to another or do I need to install them one at a time? Thank you for all your detailed help. You are wonderful!!!!!

If you wish to bring any of them over to this new store, you will have to do that BEFORE following the directions below. Just let me know and I'll walk you through the steps. Now you can finally introduce OE to the new Store. Within OE, go to Tools > Options > Maintenance tab and then click on the "Store Folder" button. It will show you where your current Store folder is located. Click on the Change button and direct the 'Browse for folder' window that opens up to the new folder you made the other day that now contains all of your old DBX files. When you locate it, click directly on the folder to select it and click on the OK button at the bottom. You will then be presented with a warning that OE has detected an already existing Store in that location. It will ask you if you want to use the new store it found. Click Yes and then OK your way out of all of the open windows until you arrive back at OE itself. Finally, close OE and then reopen it and you should be looking at all of your old email.
