This problem occurs after browsing to select the import file. When this problem occurs, the taskbar will not be available until the Import COBOL Wizard has finished running. This problem occurs if both of the following conditions are true: - The taskbar has been set to "Auto hide" mode. -and- - While the taskbar is hidden, the window for Component Builder, which is being used to create a component library, has been resized to cover the entire monitor screen area, although not actually maximized. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, resize the CB window so that at least a very small portion of the background window is visible. After doing this, the problem will not occur while using the Import COBOL Wizard.
