Again, no clue as to OE as I've never used it. However, it appears that OE 5 and above use .dbx file format. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook_Express Some of these may, or may not help: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918069/en-us http://www.mailnavigator.com/read_outlook_express_dbx_files.html <http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress&tid=63c2c708-fe0d-4c10-8e35-c5a8d259c8d0&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&p=1> Good luck. Once you do get that sorted out, it would be interesting to find out why/how your OE messages became associated with OOo in the first place. What is the file extension on the messages that you are trying to open? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
