Hi Catherine
Good thought, but if Windows thinks a brf file is a txt file, it will open notepad or something which is not the idea. We want windows to associate .brf files with .dxb from Windows Explorer. It's something which used to work perfectly, once the file had been correctly associated. But it's not such a big issue that it can't be worked around. I didn't write to the list about it until somebody else did because I assumed it was my faulty practice in setting the file associations. When I heard other people were having the same issue, I realised it may be something with the way DBT interacts with some versions of Windows.
Thanks George for sending this to Tech Support.

Cheers
Lisette

Hi,
I don't know if this would be a solution or simply demonstrate my ignorance of modern technology but here goes. .brf files usually contain only keyboard characters, spaces, form feeds for page breaks, and hard returns. So, could you convince your Windows computer that it is a .txt file and open it that way? I really would like to know if that would work.
