I got an invalid file type error message when trying to open some ETF files that were sent to me.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance,

The files could be created in Finale 2004 or Finale 2005.
If they are, you can't open them in Finale 2003.
The Finale file format is not downwards compatible.

Try opening the ETF files in NotePad 2005.
