Did you go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and verify that
you are looking in the right place?

Yes, i looked there and I saw the path for the ..dbx files also i did a
search and i can see them. I can and did copy them from the search
window put here is my problem, now that some are copied into a temp
file still can not get past Identiy (string of numbers) so i can insert
the the the .dbx file. OE imprt does not see any messages in my temp
file also, so that feature does not work. I believe i must manually
drop these files into the Outlookfolder.
Any Ideas are welcome, thank you

Manually dropping a dbx file into the OE store folder will not accomplish
anything.
