hi,  
When I click on ONE table name in the DCT in the Left Column, the File Properties for that file do not display correctly in the Right pane- the Columns list for that file is correct, but the Properties for the file (m\_CONTROL) are NOT CORRECT - they display properties from a previously viewed file. What might be going on and how do I fix it?

THanks,

Hi,  
I ended up EXPORTING the DCT to text. Then creating a NEW Dictionary and IMPORTED the Text. After backup, I renamed the NEW Dictionary to the Original dictionary and re-compiled. All is well. Now, DCT behaves as normal ( got the glitch out of it = whatever it was).
