my whiz kid is away and I need some help.. can any of the computer experts out there tell me what a dbx file is and how do I open it or covert it back to an "normal" file? Ok, I admit it, I played with my computer, and "somehow" all my folders in Outlook magically got changed into dbx files.. and I can't open then.. He is gonna KILL me when he finds out!! (the Kid, that is.. I am NOT supposed to play with the functioning of my computer..<sigh>) Sue Madlung - Shadowacre Reg'd German Shepherds http://www.shadowacre/jessie.com Standing @ Stud ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
