I ran into that problem a while back. It had me chasing my tail, when RDP open the OLD archive source, rather than the current source. It open source from over 1-year ago! YIKES!
Although, I love RDP, it is hard to argue with the Old Timers, who say "never have/had that problem with SEU..." <Big Frown>
What good is RDP 8.5, if you CANNOT count on it to open the current source?
Anyway, rolled back to RDP 8.0.3 for the 4th time, and do NOT have that problem. I am tired of chasing my tail, I have work to complete for my employer.
I will let others debug RDP 8.5, who do NOT mind chasing their tail for NEW problems that never existed in previous releases.
PS. Manually clearing the cache force a reload of the current source on RDP 8.5.

I have also seen this problem intermittently. It goes away when you clear the cache (go to Window/Preferences, type cache, click File Cache and then click the clear button.) Of course, this workaround doesn't help if you don't realise that the latest changes haven't been brought into RDP! I suspect that the problem sometimes happens if you close RDP with source members open in the editor - when you re-open RDP those members are already open and even if you close them there and then they sometimes have this issue.
Has anyone already created an RFE to request a "reload from server" option or "disable cache when connected" somewhere? I was thinking it would be useful to reload open members from the server as soon as RDP is started, but maybe that could cause problems for people who work disconnected.
If nobody has already created a relevant RFE then I will try to put one together.

Peter,
this problem occured also to me. And it occurred also to several customers of us. And I found several threads in different forums of people with the same problem. The problem at us was that it was not reproducible. I opened a service request at IBM but because it was not reproducible they couldn`t help us.
If you open a service request they probably recommend you to clear the cache via the preferences and disable the caching function. But in my opinion this can`t be the solution.
One of our customers has written a batch script which deletes all temporary files in the cache in folder RemoteSystemsTempFiles in the workspace every time prior they start RDP. But it think this also can`t be the solution.
It is definitely a cache problem and it is definitely a bug. Hopefully IBM find a solution soon and provide a fix.

I wonder if anyone has experienced the following behaviour.
One of my colleagues has recently started using RDP 8.5. He discovered that he wasn't retrieving the latest changes people had applied using SEU.
I tested this myself on his PC and even though I was using Ctl Shift A it did not retrieve the latest change I had just made using SEU.
I even opened the member in RDP and then tried to open it at the same time in SEU. It gave me a member locked error. The same happened if I did the opposite.
Opened it in SEU for edit and then tried to open it in RDP. It gave me a member locked error.
However if I made a small change in SEU and then saved it. Then opened it in RDP, the change was not visible.
I then noticed that the connection he was using was a previous alias of the machine name. I changed the connection to use the current name and everything started to work OK.
When I pinged the alias name and the current name the return IP address and name were the same.
I can't explain what was causing the problem. It seemed to be keeping a local copy of the changes.
Peter
