Hi Barbara,
How is your friend trying to open it? And what mail program is your friend
using? (Looks like you have Outlook Express)
Normally, you would attach the file, eg. "myfile.dxp" to an e-mail message.
At the other end, the recipient should "Save Attachment", placing it in a
folder such as "DBTDOCS"
If they then run DBT, they "should" be able to open "myfile.dxp" in the usual
way.
