Janet, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. If memory serves me correctly, Win.rar is a compression/archive code or program. Any dbx file can be saved in any of the compression algorithms and then restored. You can't use Win.rar to open the dbx file, though, you need the program that created it.......e-mail program, etc. Tell us more about what you want to do...........
