Except to tell us how you solved the problem..... you not telling us about it makes me think yopu did something truly horrible to get round your issue  :bdg

Why would you assume that I did something horrible? Why don't you assume that I did something really clever instead? Give people the benifit of the doubt.

Well, it wasn't anything clever at all, it was just something very simple. All I had to do was to copy all the .dbx files from the OE6 directory to the OE5 directory. That's all. The important thing is to make sure that the 'folders.dbx' file is copied otherwise it wont work. Also, this probably only works on a new install of OE5. I tried this from a previous reply but it didn't work because if you don't copy the 'folders.dbx' file then OE5 will ignore the other files because they are not in it's index file.
