I am running SW2010 SP0.0 64bit and Excel 2007. I am having an issue with design tables. When I open up some parts my configurations are missing. I click on the library and the data that I originally entered just rolls up and dissappears. Is there any way to get at this data either without SolidWorks opening or disabling a feature that is causing me this problem?
Re-opening the file does not help. I have had SP2.1 installed and SW was crashing because of a problem in the update. I guess it had to do with an update that was meant for Windows 7 computers and it applied it to XP 64 bit computers as well. I went back to 0.0 and have had less issues. I am starting to wonder if the last time I opened this file I was using 2.1. I have reinstalled Office after I went back to 0.0.
We have a lot of parts set up using design tables. I am creating a master spreadsheet as a backup to this data. It would be nice to get at it somehow otherwise I am going to have to regenerate that data.
this is a known issue w/64 bit windoze. supposedly it is going to be fixed in sp3.0. do not hold your breath as this has been an ongoing issue. bottomline is design tables are dangerous in winx 64. if you can get them to work, eventually you table values will be wiped out and replace by numbers chosen by SW. pretty handy if your into designing junk.

Sounds totally weird! If you close the file and reopen it, does it do the same thing again?
My first thought would be to try a repair on your Office - look in your Start menu for Microsoft Office Diagnostics.
The next thing is to get off SP0 - 3.0 is out in ev so you could go to at least 2.1 or pick up the ev pack.
