Hi there, the symptom: "file has been change - reload?" - yes. Hm... why is it "dirty"? I wonder about CDoc::VerifyFile() - it does the right thing, but unfortunately, it's never called. Instead, CDocIO handles that part of the action (ie. it has its own VerifyFile(), and also handles the node monitor messages). Looks like a design bug to me, Oliver? :-) Bye, Axel.
