Hi Anne,
When did all this start?
It sounds very like you still have some kind of file association
problem.
Do any of the following ring any bells with you. Voice diary, for
example?

Subject: [duxuser] Duxbury not opening a .brf file from a list
Sorry. this is way long and involved.
although if I use the "open" dialog in DBT 10.7 a .brf file opens
without a problem, when I press enter on a .brf file in a list I get
the following error message:
Error
Unable to get template directory. Please run setup.
OK
I have run setup repeatedly, sometimes after uninstalling DBT and
sometimes not, but it doesn't correct the error.
If I alt-tab to another screen I get this one:
Import File
Template
Set template as default
Hide Template
Show Hidden Templates
Import Filter
Duxbury coded text (MS-DOS)
Duxbury coded braille
Formatted text (Windows)
Formatted text (Macintosh)
Formatted text (MS-DOS)
Formatted braille
OK Cancel
Selecting a template and pressing enter produces the following
message:
Error opening template file.
OK
and pressing 'ok' causes this one:
DBT
Cannot create TASK_WIN
OK
As you may guess, the stinkin' 'ok' doesn't seem very okay to me, but
the Duxbury tech folks can't reproduce this one and I can't fix
it. Discovering that .brf files were associated with adobe, I
changed the association to DBT.exe. No joy.
I have purchased DBT 11.1 and am anxious to install it. but it's
going to make me massively crabby if that doesn't solve the problem,
and I don't see why it should. Has anyone else in the whole wide
world encountered this one? Has anyone else in the whole wide world
been able to solve it?
Do I uninstall DBT 10.7 before installing 11.1? will it make a
difference?
thanks,
Ann
