Table Replace Not Working when Trying to Swap Components

So I have an iPart I created yesterday. Only the width of the part changes, making 16 versions. The part numbers are sequential so iAssembly was able to name them correctly. However, my issue is that when I created the 16 rows in the iAssembly table, add the Table Replace column, and then try to change the iPart that goes with each assembly, Inventor gives an error saying I've changed the reference to the file and it can't be used. The screenshot I've attached shows me attempting to change the iPart that goes with each assembly. Do I need to fix my folder structure?

Hi! If possible, please share the Inventor files in zip here. I would like to understand the Table Replace failure better.

Many thanks!

Hi @akemmeE7T47 

iPart referencing in the iassembly requires the member names for referencing. If you have change this within the ipart then you must re-reference again within the iassembly table replace. The error could be the old member name is still in use. It doesnt automatically update as far as i Know. Maybe go back again and ensure ipart is saved and members generated. If it still persist please share a screensot of the error message.
