I have a seven year archive of saved files within AOL and now want to
convert that file into Outlook. I would like to keep them as
individual files that I can then sort within Outlook. I've been able
to export it out of AOL into an Access database, but can't figure how
to get it into Outlook.

Hello lamesa, 

I did some research for you and I believe that the following is the
best solution to your problem. If you have any problems with this
answer, please let me know through a clarification and I will research
a different method for you.

SOLUTION #1

I found an article which recommended a product and from what I have
read about it, I think it would be the number one choice:
"Thanks to a new and free service that easily lets you switch to
another ISP and automatically moves over your contact list and old
messages, all the while letting senders know your new address."
"Transfers e-mail and address book data from AOL to Outlook or Outlook
Express;"

Actual Application can be found at: http://www.trueswitch.com/

It appears that the application is available at no cost at this time,
and you can download it here: http://www.trueswitch.com/download.htm

Please let me know how it goes,

By the way, if this does not work, I do have a backup solution that
should work. The problem however is that it is quite technical and
this would make it much easier. Please let me know as soon as
possible. :)

Here's a near cosmic problem crying out for a solution and laying
fallow for want of attention. Where are the bright guys out there who
can solve this? Why can't the AOL utoility that opens the PFC for
those victims still paying tribute to the bloated monster, be found
amongst the massive garbage AOL deposits on its victim's hard drive
and isolated?
