No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.

Thanks Guys...

It's easy when you know w hat you're doing :thumbsup:

I did actually get myself to the OE folder with the dbx files but I wasn't sure that's where I should back them up as dbx files don't immediately open on clicking, which brings me to my next question... how do I get those folder back to OE? Hamluis sent me the link to MS which explains how this can be done given my backup scenario. Thanks.

I seem to get dumber as this goes on. You would think that I would have though to check MS prior to bothering you all with this. Sorry.

No problem...I've had to look up such info myself and I've used OE for 12 years :thumbsup:. Happy computing.
