The problem began after about the 3rd use of the action. I have made no changes to Photoshop. The dialog box in the action palette is toggled off but the effect is exactly the same as if it was toggled ON!! I had ram usage set to 55% or 968 mb. Scratch disks were set to startup and have now changed that to second reasonably empty second drive. Will see what happens now. Thanks

I duplicated the action after is stopped working and re-recoreded the open steps in the duplicate. So now have have two identical actions (as far as the visible scripting shows) one which will open files as part of the action and one which stops at each open line with the open dialog box showing.

So re-recoreding the open steps in the duplicate solved the problem permanently or is this just a temp fix until it happens again?

reason I ask: You did the re-record thing before and it helped for awhile, but then the problem came back. Right?

Yes right. I did the re-record thing and it helped for a while, but then the problem came back.

If that’s true Rob, then there is something very machine specific going on. That is clearly not normal behavior.

For giggles and grins, why not take a screenshot of all of the expanded action steps from the actions palette and post it some where. when you tell us the link it may shed some light on the issue.
