Is your file assigned to a category with a lifecycle definition assigned to it?

[dave]

Yes, I have the files set to engineering -- *David Knighten, Project Designer * *_SHB Power Plant Engineering_* 15930 SW 72nd Ave. Portland, OR. 97224, USA Office# (503) 620-6506, Fax# (503) 620-6563 Cellular# (503) 481-9407 Dave@SHBppe.com

Was the file checked in and then later assigned to the category?

When you run change state are you not seeing any states in the dropdown to select?

In the top left of the change state dialog you may need to explicitly select the new lifecycle definition to use.

I believe the files where migrated from vault basic. I am not seeing any states in the drop down. Is there a program called change state? -- *David Knighten, Project Designer * *_SHB Power Plant Engineering_* 15930 SW 72nd Ave. Portland, OR. 97224, USA Office# (503) 620-6506, Fax# (503) 620-6563 Cellular# (503) 481-9407 Dave@SHBppe.com
