Ok guys I am having a weird problem. Say I have an assembly and part open and I am working on the part. When I go up to Window and select the assembly to make it active. Solidworks will open some other part or assembly just randomly. It's been happening since the the company reimaged my machine due to hard drive failure. Has anyone ever had this happen?

Thanks

    HI James,
    
    This was a problem that was fixed in SolidWorks 2008 SP04.
    Please see the following related thread:

    Check the SW Knowledge Base for "wrong file opened".
