  File</DIV>
  <DIV><BR></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All,</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is very much off topic, but I can use any 
  help I can get.&nbsp; I copied a group of Outlook Express 5 messages to 
  another folder that was created at the same time by OE5 since it didn't 
  exist.&nbsp; In the process, the dates got corrupted.&nbsp; Following are the 
  dates on the file:</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>-&nbsp; Created:&nbsp; Saturday, November 13, 
  1999 11:08:49 PM</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>-&nbsp; Modified: Saturday, November 13, 1999 
  10:36:16 PM</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You will note that the modified date precedes the 
  created date.&nbsp; This anomaly is apparently causing OE5 not to&nbsp;list 
  this new folder in the Folder List, and I'm unable to access the messages in 
  that folder.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The file is visible using Windows Explorer.&nbsp; 
  When I double-click on it, it asks for the program to use to access it, but 
  doesn't list OE5.&nbsp; The suffix is DBX.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this 
  problem; e.g., a utility to change date or program to read and update file to 
  automatically change Modified Date, etc.?</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>

Bill, you can download it off the metastock web site for free or they will 
send you a CD with the upgrade on it for a nominal charge ( I think it's 
around $10.00) if you call them.
All the best,
