The duplicate OD table warning may be caused by having different fields in
the two dwgs tables with the same name. Even having one field uppercase and
and the other lowercase will cause that, or having one extra field in one
that's not in the other. To prevent it when you delete from A dwg delete the
table at that time before attaching the B dwg. When you deleted the table
did you do it in A dwg with B dwg attached or in A dwg after you
detached/deactivated B dwg?
If you deleted the table after you attached and queried dwg B you should of
gotten a saveback message unless you have it turned off.

We have a hydrant drawing (A) that gets updated every year. The update
process is:
delete all objects (dwg A)
attach water drawing as a source (dwg B)
query 2 layers
detach source
When I attached the source (B) I received a warning that there were
duplicate object data table names. I went to delete the tables from my
hydrant drawing (A) and discovered that the tables were removed from both
drawings. That is not what I wanted. Is there a way to prevent that from
happening?
