No open file dialog box

No open file dialog box

No open file dialog box

(OP)
Yesterday it was working fine now (this morning) when I go to open a drawing either from a short cut key of "file-open" it doesn't come up with the std. dialog box but it pushes the command in to the command line.

"enter name of drawing to open <.>:

Im using ACAD 2002map and I want the dialog box back, I did know of a setting that switches dialog boxes off, but I cant remember it.

thanks in advance.

cheers,
