Hi Fellow Listers, I want to thank all of you who responded to my .dbxquestion. All advice & information was very helpful. I did get my problem resolved and everything is working fine thanks to all of you. I did learn not to mess with something I know nothing about and won't let that happen again, I hope LOL Thanks again and have a nice rest of the weekend..

Outlook is the email application which stores your email settings and data in DBX files. Outlook Express stores your settings and data in PST files. Alan
