Deb,
Try renaming the .txt file to a .dxp file and see how it opens in DBT. It
sounds like your original file got renamed, although I can't think of any
reason why that should have happened. I don't know what to tell you about
the other file you got.

I have this strange problem and sure hope somebody out there can help me.
Occasionally I send documents from work to home in order to work on them in peace. <g< I've been doing this for a long time, now, and _know _how to send documents. I sent two documents with dxp or dxb extensions and then didn't work on them for a while. When I went back to work on them, the extension was txt, not dxp or dxb. When I opened the file, I got a real mess. I sent it to Tech Support but Don isn't in this week. A very special man tried to open the file for me but said the only way I could probably get anything from the file was to go into Word Pad or something and take out all the codes and so forth. Thing is the document was originally right so what would have made the change?
In addition, a transcriber mailed a document to me yestrday that looks strange ... and it had the name born to win altf.dxp ????? I thought maybe the alt f3 in the name was the problem so renamed the file, keeping the extension.
I just have a feeling this has something to do with matters beyond my control and wonder if anyone has any idea what's happening here. Everybody's antivirus programs are up to date and all that.
Thanks for any help,
Deb B.
