Thanks Tony for your suggestion. I took an easier way and got her to uninstall 3.6 and remove the database and all traces of DT. I then got her to install 3.4 and all is good. Since the developers are now aware of the issue that has emerged in 3.6 I hope that future releases will function like 3.4 in this aspect. If not, I will keep your suggestion in mind.
