Hi David
I want to be able to open .brf files from within windows explorer, instead
of having to run dbt first. This is exactly the problem Alyssa was talking
about. I can open .dxb files straight from Windows Explorer, and used to be
able to do the same with .brf files. I told Windows what programme to open
them in, and it did. It opened Duxbury when I entered on a .brf file because
I had associated that file type with dbt. This is what is not working
anymore, despite trying to associate .brf with DBT.
Hope that makes sense.
If I'm using the wrong dbt.exe file, where do we find the correct one
please?

Lisett:
I am confused as to why you would launch DBT this way. I usually use the
Start Menu, or click on an icon on the desktop.
Opening the entire software folder is such a hard way to do things. There
are actually 2 dbtw.exe files (one of them is a program manifest that
reforms the behavior of Microsoft Windows to be more civilized when DBT is
running). While I want to figure out what is going on here, I would
encourage discussion to be off line. I do not want to give the impression
that this is a method of launching DBT that is useful or recommended.
I also want to point out that this problem is a very separate issue from
clicking on a data file, and expecting DBT to launch (that is, linking
certain data file extensions with the DBT application),
which is the problem Alyssa wrote about.

Hi
I too have had this problem for months using Windows Vista and all
versions of DBT 11.
I select the dbtw.exe file from the Duxbury 11 folder, and when I choose
"open" it still asks me what programme I want to use. Before I press enter
on "open" dbt.exe is showing as the selected file name. The "All file
types" option is selected.
Maybe I'm missing a step?
It used to work perfectly in 10.7 on the same machine.
I wonder if anybody has any ideas

Hi,
I am having trouble associating .brf files with DBT11.1. I've gone into
the set file types dialogue box. I've right-clicked individual files to
try to get them to open with DBT, but when I attempt to select it as the
default program, my computer refuses to recognize that it even exists and
tries to default to something else. Is there something I can do to fix
this?
Thanks.
