Hi Dianne,Yes these are the exact steps I use too. On my Vista machine, when I press ok it asks me what programme I would like to use to open the brf file, even though I've just told it. I can go round and round in circles choosing dbt.exe, being asked again what programme I want, choosing it again, etc etc. Very odd.
I have had this right from the first release of 11. Lisette----- Original Message ----- From: "Alyssa" <lyssassong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello Diane,That is what I have tried and what failed to work. Thanks for the suggestionthough. I have a laptop that has no previous versions of Duxbury on it and plan to install 11.1 on it to see what happens. If it is some sort of registry cleanup issue as I think it is, it should work properly on this laptop. If not, then it must have something to do with Windows 7 64-bit. -Alyssa -----Original Message-----From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] OnBehalf Of Diane Scalzi Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 8:28 PM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: DBT11.1 with .BRF files Good Evening, I was able to figure this out, so let me see if I can remember what I did well enough to explain it. I am running DBT 11.1 SR3 on a Dell desktop running Windows 7, 64 bit home edition. In the dialog box for associating the .brf file with the appropriate program, I pressed the spacebar on the browse button. On my computer, all the programs I have installed are in a folder called X86. Within that folder, I arrowed to the Duxbury folder, which contains a folder called DBT 11.1. Within that folder I selectedDBTW.exe and clicked OK a couple times. Now I can open any .brf file I wantto. I hope this is helpful.

We want windows to associate .brf files with .dxb from Windows Explorer. It's something which used to work perfectly, once the file had beencorrectly 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 Iheard 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.

So, could you convince your Windows computer that it is a .txtfile and open it that way? I really would like to know if that would work.Catherine---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Catherine Thomas braille@xxxxxxxxx /---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---* * * * This message is via list duxuser at freelists.org. * To unsubscribe, send a blank message with * unsubscribe * as the subject to duxuser-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx .
