| 45485 | 2002-04-24 23:24:00 | I saved an Outlook Express folder to My Documents. It is saved as a .dbx file. When I attempt to open it Word is activated but the result is unreadable. How can I open the file in a readable form? Any help would be graetfully received. |

If it is the only .dbx file on your computer you can direct Outlook Express to open it by going to Tools, Options, Maintenance and changing the Store Folder settings to the file's location. If it is not the only .dbx file on your machine and you want to view the contents you will have to move it to where the other files are or vice versa. Note that if it has the same name as another file then OE will want to overwrite it before it moves it to the same location. In that case you may be able to rename it first to prevent this. |
