File open crashes

[Anonymous]

I have a user that gets a power exit whenever he selects a file to open from
the today box, ie... select the browse option in Open Drawings tab and MDT 6
power exits, this also happens when selecting a file shown on any particular
date in the By History area.
When file open is used from the pull down menu everything works fine.
Any ideas?
OS is Win2000
Thanks

Michael,

Does the crash happen when the user selects the 'Look in' drop down at the
top of the dialog, or when something else is selected?

Mike,
The crash occurs when the actual file name
is selected in the file list window below
the Look In dialog, also when the actual file is selected from the History
window of the today box.
(the look in window appears to function OK)
Thanks,

Steve,

My problem is throwing me completely out of
MDT

w/ no fatal error box and happens
everytime.

Have you noticed the problem getting
worse.

Thanks...
