For reasons I can't explain I can no longer do this on my system. Whether I use the track automation menu or the key command, I cannot bring up the automation quick access box. It simply doesn't appear. No error message, no explanation. Nothing. I'm using an Edirol PCR 800 with the latest drivers.

Hi rainguitar, Can you access the Controller Assignments window? What about Key commands window? Have you tried "trashing" your control surface Logic preferences file? [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/blog/logic-pro/trash-talk-guide-reset-logics-preference-files[/url] :)
