Hi,
Try this:
1. Copy those files to a location you can get at easily (they will be
.dbx and .cdx files).
2. Use the import wizard in OE to import those CDX and DBX into your
current identity.
Once the files are imported they will be compacted and new files will be
created. You can then get rid of the old files.
I sometimes recommend that OE users backup the CDX/DBX files by going
into the tools | options menu, then in the system somewhere there is a
tab dealing with file management, you can then open the directory
specified in the dialog box and copy the files to a safe location, which
can be easily imported if something goes wrong through the day to day
use of the program. We have had to revert to these backups more than
once.
Sorry for being vague about locations; I am not an OE user really.
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] o.e. puzzle
On Christmas eve as I was about to shut down, got the message from o.e.
it
was going to compact files to free up disk space, I listened to the
progress
bar and shut down when I thought the process was complete.
When I got back to the program the following day, I found with horror
that
all my subfolders in my inbox where I save all the tips and tricks I
glean
from this and other lists had disappeared.
I counted myself lucky, my addressbook was still there.
Since then I've searched for the folders of course and have just
discovered
that they are stored in a seperate identity in my documents and
settings.
This folder seems to be a backup of my own inbox as well.
I've tried to move my old folders back to my own identity but can't find
where exactly to put them.
If I switch identity in o.e. I am only given the choice of 2 of them,
not 3
as there are in my documents and settings.
Would love to access those files again, especially now I KNOW they are
still
on my machine, can anyone tell me how to do it?
If I try to open them from Windows explorer, o.e. opens and presents me
with
my inbox but the old folders are not there to read.
Thanks in advance
Marie
