In the latest instance of the problem the user had set the ?initial directory for tables to the directory holding the workspace and the tables that are causing the problem. This is the same setting as on my PC where the problem does not occur. Mystery.

Actually on testing it is only the tables without a path that ask, so that gives a work around. Tried setting the users tab file location preference to the relevant directory, but that did not work. Tried using all absolute paths and that does work, but Id like to understand why, when the file open dialogue ...

We are still using MIP V12 in production. A workspace that I maintain but that is used by many is exhibiting strange behaviour. It is normal for me, but when others open it the file open dialog comes up and they have to click open for each table that the workspace contains. This is occurring whether ...
