HOW DO I FIX PROBLEM WHERE AUTOCAD HAS TAKEN OVER THE .DBX
EXTENSION USED FOR OUTLOOK ARCHIVE OF MESSAGES.

I AM UNABLE TO RESTORE ARCHIVED OUTLOOK MESSAGES.

MY SYSTEM FOR SOME REASON DECIED TO AUTO ARCHIVE MY LOCAL
INBOX AND LEFT ONLY MOST RECENT MESSAGES, I NEED TO
RETREIVE OLDER MESSAGES FOR IMPORTANT DATABASES.

I TRIED TO CHANGE FILE ASSOCIATIONS TO POINT .DBX BACK TO
OUTLOOK, BUT SYSTEM DOEN'T WANT TO CHANGE. ALWAYS
ASSOCIATES WITH AUTOCAD.

I NOT SURE HOW TO USE REGEDIT TO FIX, ASSUMING THIS IS
EVEN POSSIBLE

I'VE HAVN'T TRIED TO UNINSTALL AUTOCAD, AS I NEED TO USE
ON DAILY BASIS AND DON'T WANT TO LOOSE MY CUSTOM SET-UPS.

ANY IDEAS?

It doesn't make a difference if AutoCAD associates the DBX filetype for
its own purpose. Outlook Express can still deal with it's message store
in DBX files just fine. Your problem lies somewhere else.
