Thanks, I think we have a plan for my friend. He can copy his dbx
files onto his hard drive or access the files directly on the cd by
opening outlook-file-import-select from another program.

No! You have to copy the file onto the hard drive and uncheck the write
protection.
 
ok, copy the dbx files onto the hard drive, uncheck the write
protection. open outlook, select file-import-from another program.

Outlook Express folder structure (or similary; I don't know the correct

Then export this files to Outlook

I'm puzzled by this statement: "...he no longer has access
to outlook express...." If he has Windows, he has Outlook Express...
 
EXPORT from Outlook Express unless your friend does not mind losing
important information, like received dates.

Well, if Outlook Express is not on the computer, beside not being able
to transfer the .dbx files correctly, Outlook will not function
properly.
 
Thanks all for the replies, my friend and i are several hundred miles
apart. i haved advised him to come onto the group and explain if he
still has problems.
 
how do you transfer outlook express files into outlook?
Click to expand...

If Outlook and Outlook Express are on the same machine, in Outlook Express,
click FIle>Export>Messages and follow the prompts. For Contact and Rule
information, use Outlook and click File>Import and Export>Import Internet
Mail and Addresses>Next, select Outlook Express, uncheck "Import Mail",
click Next, Select the desired duplicate handling, andf click Finish.
