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.
