SWDD- Unable to open workflow- Urgent :(

Fri Nov 19 11:43:27 EST 2010

Hi John,

I recall that I had similar once about 3 or 4 years ago. If I remember
correctly, I was able to go into Workflow builder with the WF number but it
just fails to bring up the Graphical flow on the right hand side. Then I
think I changed back to the previous version of WF. This then brought the
graphical flow on the screen.

See if you can do that.
