I would like to see if I can help. I have done this several times with no
problems.
In outlook express    you can go to       tools    and    then go to the
bottom   and click on options.
>From there I go to    maintenance and look for the store folder.

That will show you where all the files are that you want to copy.
You can copy the location of stored folders and files    and   paste it into
your address bar on
windows explorer   or   run command and you should find all the .dbx files
you need.
I put them on media or a drive and copy them over.
I like to use a 20 cent cd and save the cd for later if I ever need it.

Hope this helps.

mike
