nidatabsetypes.ini keeps changing

[MichaelAivaliotis]

Everytime I exit TS I get prompted to save NIDatabaseTypes.ini file. This even happens upon a clean launch and exit without editing types.

I also disbaled the Station Model in case the process model was doing something. No joy. Any idea why the types would be changing?

I have noticed this happening when the CommonResults property has been modified to be a newer version than 3.1.0.100.  By resetting the version of CommonResults to 3.1.0.100, the problem appears to go away.  If you have purposely modified CommonResults, there is an additional workaround.  To fix this problem, make a type palette file at the top of the Type Palette File List that only contains CommonResults.

To do this, select the Type Palette (Ctrl-T).  In the dropdown list, select Customize.  Create a new Type Palette File, and make sure it is at the top of the list.  In the Type Palette Window, select NI_DatabaseTypes.ini.  Select the Standard Data Types Tab.  Select CommonResults, and copy the item.  Navigate to the new Types Document you created, and paste the item in that file.  Once you save these files, you should not be prompted again.

Let me know if this does not solve your problem.

I did not modify the common results type at all which is strange. The version number shows 3.1.0.9097.

Well, the first method didn't work well because upon reload of Teststand it asked me to resolve type conflicts and it appeared that regardless of what option I chose, it did not want to apply the updated version I gave it. It kept reverting the type back to 3.1.0.9097.

The second method worked fine.
