Maybe the problem Casba is seeing is related to

A bug in LC 9.6.9 rc2 for the ask dialog on Windows (apparently a regression)
Kind regards

It's like this:

Hi Jacque, thanks, I tried it with the brackets, but it did not remedy. I reported it to LC and I'm awaiting their response. I did the diagnostic with message box, and same result no cursor in the dialog box.

Did the issue that no blinking cursor appeared in the field go away?

My problem has now gone away. It was a complicated situation where I had two working folders in windows, and when I deleted one, the prob went away.
