i wrote this and dumped it twice, but i think it's worth saying.
'what i does' becaused of shortage of space on my O.S. HDD.

OE6 does not allow storing on a removable disc; i therefore move my files [drag 
and drop] to this removable disc when they reach a
near critical size, and label the file in a suitable manner [still keeping the 
original name of course].
when i want to read them, i load a copy of oe6 onto this disc and 'import' them.
while i still have the room, the oe6 remains there but i delete all the files 
to clear the way for the next time.
'make do and mend'  'salvage'; it was dinned into we wrinklies.
cheers ted

Well ok, that explains it then; I thought something was wrong with them.
Sort of like Quicken then, you can backup the files but can't just "read" them. 
 Thanks! ~Glo

what is the point of keeping these files if they can't be read?  Or is this 
just what makes OE  work? Just curious. ~Glo
  The trick is finding a database program
that can read the dbx format.  Maybe MS Access????
