Hi Jon,

I can only see three reasons why they should be dimmed:
- no TM is opened: this is the most obvious one, but since I have no idea of your level of knowledge in Trados, I feel I have to point it out. No offence meant
- You did not open the current TM in exclusive mode: you have the enable the corrresponding check box in the Open TM dialog before selecting the TM
- You don't have any editing rights on the TM. This the client sets up and there is nothing you can do about it.

Have a nice day!

Yup, that little "Exclusive" checkbox did it. To think that it would be that easy...

You just made my day! Thank you soooooo much.
