Design table in excel keeps rewriting itself???

    Hi All,

    I have a pretty simple but complicated design table, all it does is hide
    or show a bunch of parts and suppress or unsuppress a sequence of mates.

    What keeps happening is that for example a column that is titled
    'show@somepart<1>' has below it a sequence of Y or N for each configuration
    depending on if I want it visible or not. It works for awhile then somehow
    the whole column will be re-written with all Y's.

    Weird eh? If you've seen this before please let me know.

    Thanks

    Thanks Dale,

    Yes my table is set to allow user edits and I knew about that. The thing
    that is weird about this is it's occuring when I've changed nothing in the
    assembly at all. I was just working on it's associated drawing. ie. I
    didn't change the visibility of any parts.

    I have always done that just in case.

    Especially if the DT is a large complex one.

    It occured to me to try protecting the workbook and then locking the cells
    that I know will never change. But I havn't had a chance to try it.
