Hello!  

It seems you're experiencing an issue with the 'Select a file' command being greyed out in Trados Studio 2024. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:  

**Step 1:** Ensure that you are logged into your Trados Team account and that the project you are trying to access is assigned to you. You can do this by navigating to the Projects section in your Trados Team account and confirming your access.  

**Step 2:** If you are working with a local project, make sure that the project is not set to a single file project, as this can limit functionality.  

**Step 3:** Check if the project is a cloud project. If so, you need to add files directly in the Trados Live environment and then reopen the project in Trados Studio.  

**Step 4:** If the issue persists, consider resetting your Trados Studio settings. You can do this by navigating to the appropriate folder (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18) and renaming the relevant XML files to reset your settings.  

**Step 5:** If none of the above steps work, you may want to run a repair installation of Trados Studio through the Control Panel. This can help fix any underlying issues with the software.  

If you continue to face difficulties, please provide more details about the project type and any specific error messages you may be encountering. This will help in diagnosing the issue more effectively.

Hello!  

It seems you're encountering an issue with the 'Select a file' command being greyed out while working with a local project in Trados Studio 2024. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:  

**Step 1:** Confirm that you are indeed working on a local project. Since you mentioned that you do not have a team account, ensure that the project was created as a local project.  

**Step 2:** Check if the project is properly set up. Sometimes, if the project is not configured correctly, certain commands may be disabled. You can do this by going to the project settings and verifying that all necessary files are included.  

**Step 3:** Ensure that the file you are trying to select is compatible with the project settings. If the file type is not supported or if there are issues with the file itself, the command may remain greyed out.  

**Step 4:** If the issue persists, consider resetting your Trados Studio settings. You can do this by navigating to the appropriate folder (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18) and renaming the relevant XML files to reset your settings.  

**Step 5:** If none of the above steps work, you may want to run a repair installation of Trados Studio through the Control Panel. This can help fix any underlying issues with the software.
