Hi,
since a couple of weeks I cannot open the properties window of a job activity or routine activity stage in a sequence job. Other sequence stages don't cause this problem. Removing and reinstalling Datastage client didn't help either.
Has anyone else come across this problem or any ideas to solve it?

What is your DataStage version and which Windoze are you running on?Did you by any chance apply the XP SP2?
There are known issues regarding this.
The following post mentions some of them:
