Is there a way of locking a SW BOM so that it will never change?

tools>options>doc properties>detailing>bill of materials> uncheck auto update of bom
What version are you running? I have 2006 with SP 4.1 and that option is not there.

it's there.
the drawing is required to be open to access document properties.
Never Mind, I found it
Thanks
So, what if I don't want the order to change (expecially when changing a configuration), but still want the values to up-date? I suppose I can play around with this, but if anybody has input, I would be interested.

one option, drive the order from assembly. rmb on bom, follow assembly order. then in assembly, hold alt key, drag components to desired order.
i've always arranged my assembly tree in this fashion, easy to find things. alpha-numeric works well, imho.
Thanks-I'll try it.
