Hi George,
I should probably follow that advice as well. Of course, you're right
about scan control table files. The Scrub program used files with a
different extension, and I can't think of what it was.

Hi Steve & Theresa,
I really must stop answering messages late at night.
There are .sct files in DBT which are actually "Scan Control Tables".
Believe me, you should NOT need to do anything with these files, unless under the very specific guidance of Duxbury Technical support.
I guess ideally, they should be made hidden files, and perhaps even read only. I will indeed suggest that for the future.

George,
Back in the old DOS days, Duxbury had a program called Scrub, which could do some fairly sophisticated text processing based on rules stored in a text file known as a "Scrub Control Table" with the extension .SCT. I'm guessing here, but somewhere in the dark recesses of DBTW, there's probably some chunk of code that knows about .SCT files, and it gets alerted when it sees one even though those files have a far different meaning today than they did back then. I doubt that the error is terribly serious, but I can see how it would be very annoying.
