Hi Marie,

Can't you just copy them to the folder where OE stores the DBX files and access the messages by running OE and browsing its folders?

Hope that works for you but just yell if you need more help.

Subject: [access-uk] File types and which program open what



Hi all,
On my pc I have saved some dbx files for future reference gleaned from this and other lists.
The first time I tried to open these files the pc ask me what program I wanted to open them with. It wanted to open wordpad, I knew this wasn't right so I chose browse and found outlook express wasn't on the list provided. so I looked in other programs and found outlook express there. The trouble was that there was more than one outlook express type program with a exe extension in the main outlook express folder to choose from. I picked one and it is obviously the wrong one because the dbx files won't open.
My outlook express program works properly and it must be reading dbx files.
How do I find out what part of the program is working when I use it so that I can choose that one to open those other dbx files stored on my machine.
Does this make sense to anyone?
If so, please enlighten me please, I would be very sad if I couldn't read those files anymore especially when I know they are present on the pc.
Looking at their properties I don't see anything sttrange.


Thanks in advance..with warm sunshine from the south of France sent to all and everyone of you.

Marie
