Hi,
Silly question. Is it the order of your windows i.e the property window is opening but it is behind the main GUI window? I have had problems with exchange in a similar manner – I click reply to an email and nothing happens – yet normally a reply dialog should open. When I looked more deeply into the problem I found that the reply dialog was opening behind the exchange front screen. I still haven’t found an answer to this but now I know I just CRTL TAB to swap windows.
Regards
Garry
