Sp 4.1 drawings with excel bom

That's quite an important observation - have you turned it in to your VAR?

I have the same problem with excel based BOM. I've stopped using excel based BOM.

I don't have the problem using the regular BOM.

Shame it's too late to make SP5.0 so they might fix that one in SP0 for 2007 :)

Probably their way of fading out the Excel BOM's. Discourage use of Excel BOM's by adding bugs. In turn encouraging the use of their table based BOM's. Probably won't even have the ability to do Excel based in another couple of releases.

I've got to admit though. Overall I like the table based BOM's a lot better. It does have it's quirks though. And there may be some functionality missing that Excel based BOM's may have. But nothing that I ever need to use. Table based are a lot faster too.

I agree.

Are you using PDM Works on Windows Server 2003. We found that SP 4.0 of PDMW is much more sensitive to the Microsoft Hotfix patch being applied to the server. We saw similar time to open until the patch was applied. Brad
