SW2007 sp4.0
I have a user that is getting error 702, which I did look at in the knowledge base and found no real help on solving this, when checking an assembly into the datavault. The error is referencing a circular reference, I haven't been using SW for too long so I have never ran across this error, so, how do I trouble shoot this assembly to find the issue?

A circular reference is an external reference of a part (part 1) to a feature of another part (part 2), which is referencing back to that feature in part 1 (does that make any sense?). This causes SWx to go in circles when it rebuilds, hence the designation circular reference.
They are hard to spot and can be an annoyance, especially if you use alot of external references to build parts. Sometimes they can be linked between many parts. You can view the external references of a feature by right-clicking on the feature and selecting "view references." What ever you do, DO NOT click the "Break References" button. Thats bad... and you will not be able to get them back.
Good luck.
