at what point did you get the error?
were you able to create a directory? you may have a permission problem. are you still trying to export to CD? you may have a space problem.

Does the error message have a "Next" button? If so... ignore the error,
click "Next"... browse to your empty folder and etc. The export command remembers the last folder you attempted to export to and if it doesn't exist you get an error message. Once you select the destination folder you'll see message this folder is empty. Click "Select Folder" and follow along. As a test I created a folder on my desktop and exported my inbox to it. Worked fine. "Lorraine" <> wrote in message news 6C0B67B-C3F1-417D-A08A-...> Thank you. That was very clear but I received an error message that export > failed.
