Design Assistant extra files

Hello Everybody,

I have a small assembly that was copied from another assembly using Design Assistant.
The "iam" when opened with IV shows what is supposed to be in the assembly, BUT when I
look at the assembly with Design Assistant, it shows three other "ipt" that were there at one time
but not any longer. Any idea what is happening?

Thanks,
Erich

Would seem the files are still linked to that assembly somehow. Hard to tell
for sure from a distance, but how was the link with the extra files
supposedly broken? Are there files with the same name elsewhere? I think I
would try renaming the iam in Explorer then taking a look in DA to see what
happens. After that, I would rename the extra files in Explorer then open
the assemblies and see if it ask to resolve them in the wrong assembly. Just
a fiddling approach, but it will often show what's going on.

Yeah,.. there is link somehow left behind. I renamed the three "wrong" files and
then DA could not find the first, did not give me an error for the next two.
Thanks for the ideas, I'll keep fiddling with. It is almost of no importance, the
browser show all the correct stuff. Just curious about the odd behavior of DA.

Thanks,
Erich
