Thank You for the reply Joshua,
Locating the project database file to a network location has been working great w/ multiple users updating project.
The "RECNUM" field I was trying to use was not consistent, I have since switched to using "TAG NAME" as unique ID, and filter the query to look at parent items only (=1).
The drawback to this, is I am not able to use Muti-BOM or ASM codes. I have to create a Tag Name for every item utilized in dwgs.
Anyone PLEASE!!! let me know if there is a more convenient way.
