Our computer had to go off and be repaired, so before it went I saved all
of
the email messages and the address book from Outlook Express to a USB and
they are there in the form of DBX files.

When we got the computer back, all of the programs had been wiped and we
now
have Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. I need to access these files and
addresses, but find myself unable to do so - I am unable to import them
into
Outlook 2003. I have gone through some of the posts in some of the
discussion
groups and tried to follow what was advised, but have not been successful.
Any suggestions on how to get my messages now on my desktop in a folder
into
Outlook 2003?? I really need to access these files.
Thanks
