Since migrating to Windows 2008 from Windows 2003 on the terminal server machines, the "Grab File" feature no longer allows user to pick a file by clicking on the folder selector icon in the "Import Data File" dialog box. Sales Oder, Purchase Order etc, does not work in any areas.

Please help. Thank you.

When migrating from Windows 95 to XP, Microsoft introduced a legacy 'thunking' layer for 16-bit applications to access some common interface elements managed by the 32-bit OS. With the introduction of Windows 7 and later OS's (such as Server 2008), this interfacing layer got broken.

There is no solution to this. Series 7 is very old now and users should be migrating to the V8 platform for later versions of Windows and for other reasons.
