Since he's using Digital Performer, he's on a Mac.  What he needs to do is boot up DP first, and then open the MIDI file from the "open" dialog within DP, rather than double-clicking the file itself.  You don't import MIDI files into DP, you just open them from within the program.

Neal, the files aren't "coming through as QuickTime files." It's that his
computer is set to open all files of .mid extension with QuickTime. Tell him
to change the extension or, if he's on Windows, simply right-click the file
and use the Open command line to select which program will open the files.

Subject: [Finale] MIdi Export Files


Greetings...

I'm trying to help a friend with a project...

I've saved a two Finale files (FinMac2k6c) as a Standard Midi File
(with each line as a separate track) and sent him the files, which
have .mid extensions.

His reply:
Thanks for sending the files, however, if you saved them as Standard
Midi
Files (.smf) they are coming through as Quicktime files which I can play
back on the computer but can't import into Digital Performer.

Any ideas what I say back to him?

Thanks...
