Posted July 10, 200816 yr I must confess I also found the Vista import of .dbx more difficult than it ought to be. There seem to be several reasons why the Vista import command declares that there are no dbx files. 1. The old OE 6 files were copied to a place outside of documents, i.e. outside of the user admin sphere of influence, so recopy them inside the "user" space. 2. If you used explorer to find those files and you left that explorer window open on that directory, then Vista considers that busy but gives the same error as 1! So you can go in circles here. 3. The double path entry had me fooled, especially when you cannot edit it, but must start again. But there are further problems. When the import finally happens, then everything is imported into a new "imported folder". One then has to go in and move files out into their proper place which if you have several thousand archived emails is rather tedious. Finally to add insult to injury there are errors in the import process, sometimes whole directories are not copied. Check each one. Rob Shell:cool: -- rshell
