Can't add new drag and drop interations in Captivate 9

I'm a very new user to Captivate and am editing the drag and drop interactions on a number of slides.  On one day,  the OK button on 'Set Correct Answers'. will add the new rows or answer sets I've entered,   The next day, I try to do the same thing and nothing happens when hit OK - no error, just sits there until I cancel.  I can't tell what factor I've introduced to cause this to happen.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Steve Rothenberg

    The problem I was having was almost certainly due to having some deleted drag sources and drop targets that were affecting the behavior of new drop targets and drag sources that I had added.

    Hi Steve,

    The problem could be, your Drag and drop matching on slide is not in sync with the matches set in "Set Correct Answers". You might see the warning icon as similar to the image i have attached with this post. So please find such an entry and delete that row or correct the matching.

    The above conditions might be happening to you when you try to delete a drop target or drag source from the DND configured slide.

    Thanks

    Are you using the wizard or the D&D panel? You cannot use all type of objects for drag sources nor drop targets. Which objects did you use? And please, tell which version you use?

    I'm using the D&D panel, and its 9, forgot to mention it first time.  Using text captions as drag sources and smart shapes as drop targets
