I take the .dbx files off the Xp machine to a thumb drive and copy them into a folder on the Vista machine and run the import wizard from Windows Mail and wizard can't see the files. I did this successfully on another user earlier..

Any ideas?

Make sure that if there's an "OPEN" file box, that the "file type" is set correctly. Otherwise the file won't be visible. You can change the file type to "*.*" or just enter that on the line where you would select the file. That will show you all of the files.
