Hi Theresa and George,
I tried to replicate this problem by moving a file to a floppy, clicking on
the file, and translating it. Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for
this situation, I didn't get the error message. That tells me that on my
system DBTW knows where to find the correct .SCT file. Judging by the
error message you quoted, Theresa, it seems as if DBTW is trying to open a
.SCT file on the memory stick when it should be looking for that file in
the Duxbury folder on the C drive. That leads me to wonder about the
Duxbury.ini file, which is located in c:\Windows\ on the PC. I opened that
file on my system in Notepad and found the following two lines:
FilesSearchPath=C:\Duxbury\;C:\DbtDocs\ ConfigurationFilesDirectory=C:\Duxbury
George,
I don't want to open an ".sct" file. I just want to open a duxbury file on the memory stick and it comes up "unable to open .sct file". I just store my document that I want to translate on a memory stick instead of a floppy disk. My laptop doesn't have a floppy storage spot.
Let me explain this again. I have some "down time" at work when I choose to do some of my braille translation. So I type in a book or a ditto or something on my laptop in Duxbury Win. I save it on a memory sick in my laptop. After shutting down the memory stick properly I take it out and when I have a chance I take it to the PC in a different location and insert my memory stick in my card reader on my PC and open Dux Win. I go to "file" and "open" and go to the memory stick. I click on the duxbury file on my memory stick that I want to translate. It comes up in a print copy of Dux Win but when I go to translate it so I can emboss it the screen reads something like "unable to recognize .sct file". So I just copy/paste the document on a "new" duxbury file and translate it and it does translate and then embosses it beautifully. I was just puzzled as to what a .sct file was and I am still puzzled as to why my Dux Win program won't translate from a memory stick. It will work right off of a floppy or a CD Rom but not a memory stick.
But no, I won't try to open an .sct file. It sounds like it is something way beyond me. I will leave that to you and your colleagues in the tech department.
I hope this helps.
Theresa
