I have never had good results opening .brf files with DBT, especially those
created or edited with a notetaker. The results are better if I open the
program and then the file. Still, much of the text is missing, and I have
to pretend they are Duxbury Coded braille for the entire text to appear.

Ann,
I followed your instructions and discovered that on my computer things
were a bit more complicated, and therefore want to share with the list in
case others encounter something similar.
First, there was no file association for .BRF files, so I created one by
trying to open the file and selecting the option to manually tell Windows
what program to use. After closing the dialog, I clicked on the .BRF file
again and got the message that the file could only be opened with a
licensed product, after which further attempts to open the file resulted
in nothing happening.
I then went to Control Panel/Folder Options/File Types, found .BRF in the
list and tabbed until I found a Restore button. This opened a dialog in
which there was an Advanced button, which opened a dialog where I could
select an action to perform. I changed the action from "Emboss" to
"Open", tabbed to OK, and exited from Folder Options. This time when I
tried to open the file, it worked.
Obviously, something got broken somewhere along the way, but I'm glad the
problem is finally fixed.
Steve
