Mike, In the interest of recovery, You should insert a few steps to back up the other JDF files first, before overwriting them -- just in case.

Say yess when you are asked if you want to replace the files. 12. restart jaws after the files have finished copying Let me know if this works! -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carlson <dgcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, Mar 2, 2010 9:01 am Subject: Re: JAWS dictionary files. Hello, I think you are asking if you can have the filename.JFD file located in a different folder? I think you cannot do this. JAWS looks for the file in one location only.
