How to Copy OE6 w/ several Identies from Win98SE to W2K or XP
Frank,
As info, I got a page not found for this url http://www.oehelp.com/backup. I think I have to copy the OE files from my C Drive by using the C Drive as a Slave. Can I copy the *.dbx files to a folder and import to a new OE? Will the address book be there too or is that some where else? Some how I don't think the addresses are in a *.WAB file. Keep in mind this is Win98 SE. "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote: "Randy" wrote in message ... My C Drive on my W98SE Machine is having MAJOR issues and won't boot.

Keep in mind this is Win98 SE. Oh, fiddle! I'll have to find out what's wrong with that site. Win98 doesn't make any difference. Unless you were sharing contacts with Outlook, they are in a WAB file. Tom's site (http://www.insideoe.com/backup/index.htm) should have instructions for that. If you were sharing with Outlook you will have to export them from Outlook as a CSV file and import that into OE. The DBX file can be put in any folder on your hard drive to import from, but if you use a CD (or DVD) to transfer them you will probably have to Remove the Read Only attribute in order for OE to be able to import from them. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Please reply in newsgroup.
