I have a linked design table called "design table.xls" ina
part file. Recently it started saving itself using the name:"design
table.xls_new" everytime I save the part file.The first time I
save, there is no problem, every subsequent savesafter that,
solidworks prompts with the message: "A file namedc:\design
table.xls_new already exists in this location. Do youwant to
replace it?" With options Yes, No, Cancel. I havenever had this
prompt in the past with any other design tables. Howcan I get rid
of the prompt or prevent the "designtable.xls_new" file from being
written to the disk? Thank you,Nayshil.
