Importing Outlook Express from one machine to outlook in another

[Michael]

I have a new machine running outlook (under XP) and an
old machine running outlook express. I've exported the
folders and old messages successfully, but the import
routine in outlook on the new machine doesn't allow me to
tell it where these *.dbx files are. Any advice on how
to get the old Outlook Express folders into the new
machine and have them import into Outlook?

You need to open the .dbx files using Outlook Express first. Then try the
import again.
