Thanks Destrox.

I suppose by OE you mean Outlook Express? I'm using Outlook 2002 and winXP, sorry should have mentioned that earlier.

And in Outlook 2002 'properties' says only that the location of the file was in my 'personal files' there is no more specific description.

So I tried C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Identities\{B977F309-AF14-42DF-93EC-375DB0A87E6E}
But this folder is empty.
(I made sure win displays all files)

Maybe it's just OE that saves the data in a .dbx file, and that Outlook 2002 uses a different file?

It's checked alright.
