BOM descriptions for some items not showing up

[Fdna49]

After upgrading to 2009, when I run a BOM report the descriptions for my motors, controllers, and contactors do not show up in the BOM report. The description is listed in the catalog lookup, but I cant get it to show up in the BOM. The description shows up for all other components.
Anybody have a solution?

Thanks

There is an issue in 2009 that has to do with finding the correct catalog
table for a symbol when pulling out the information for the Bill of
Materials report. It is not disregarding the initial "H" or "V" for the
symbol name. So say your symbol is HMO1 it should look for the table MO but
if you happen to have a table called HM then it will find that first and
look for the catalog within that table. Same with the "V". So if you symbol
is VMO1 it would find a table called VM first and never look at the MO
table. The only workarounds at this point are to either rename some of the
catalog tables if they aren't needed or to add the WDBLKNAM value with the
correct table name to the blocks.

Sorry for this inconvenience and we are working to resolve this issue.
