Did you ever resolve this? If so, what did it take?

Oops, Sorry. Been out for awhile.

I think I did. After playing around with it and looking at some other sample design tables. One from here of shoulder bolts, sorry I can't find the link to it.

I think what I was doing was placing lookup tables in line with the rows Solidworks wanted to use for the main design table. After moving these to the bottom of the sheet I could save the table externally. At least that's when it started letting me save again. 'Errors in sheet = don't save external' ??
