The files now have the extension .dbx and I cannot open them. they have dissapeared from my Outlook Express, how can I get them back? Thanks Bob

You should ask this question in the Outlook Express discussion for your version of Windows. That would behttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/threads for Windows Vista,http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpnetwork/threads for Windows XP, orhttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads for Windows 7. You can also ask in news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general is you prefer a newsreader.Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
