    Unhappy Open dialog box missing in action!

    When I try to open drawing I get a bar in the middle of the screen asking me to type in the full path to the drawing. Where did the dialog box go and how can I get it back? I am used to picking the drive, directory, subdirectory and then the drawing file name from the dialog box. Help will be much appreciated.

    Hi "wpalmer" ( Sorry, I do not know your real name )

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Customization forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike
