Which three-number version of Audacity do you have?

Is Audacity stopped and not just paused?

Are you using plain filenames: upper and lower case letters, numbers, dash and underscore?

I can't think of a normal mistake which will prevent typing characters into a filename box..... Is your flashing cursor in the box?

Hi Koz
I have USB turntable D6027 and Audacity 1 2 6 on my computer. I have recorded the album I want, then go into File then Export to wav. The cursor then flashes in file name. I can't use upper and lower case, numbers, dash and underscore. Hope you can help. Shaun
