Re: Problem with 5.1.0.1 upgrade with multiple workspaces

Joe,

I have encountered this problem a couple of times.

Initially I thought it was a problem with the way I had done the install of
the latest release/update, so did a complete delete and re-install (groan!)

When this happened a couple of days ago on another machine, I wondered if
somehow the old workspaces maybe got screwed up by the upgrade, so exported
my stuff from the workspace, shutdown, and opened up in a new workspace.

Seemed to be ok from there, no additional reloading of updates required.

So I believe the update can screw up an existing workspace, but new
workspaces are ok.

If this theory is correct, you should just have to export everything from
that workspace, and create everything again in a new workspace.

cheers
Colin.W
