Hi Catherine
Good thought, but if Windows thinks a brf file is a txt file, it will
open notepad or something which is not the idea.
We want windows to associate .brf files with .dxb from Windows Explorer.
It's something which used to work perfectly, once the file had been
correctly associated. But it's not such a big issue that it can't be
worked around. I didn't write to the list about it until somebody else
did because I assumed it was my faulty practice in setting the file
associations. When I heard other people were having the same issue, I
realised it may be something with the way DBT interacts with some
versions of Windows.
Thanks George for sending this to Tech Support.

Cheers

Hi,
I don't know if this would be a solution or simply demonstrate my
ignorance of modern technology but here goes. .brf files usually
contain only keyboard characters, spaces, form feeds for page breaks,
and hard returns. So, could you convince your Windows computer that it
is a .txt file and open it that way? I really would like to know if
that would work.
