SW 2007 Toolbox BOM relation

SW 2007 Toolbox BOM relation

(OP)
Hey Folks,

I realize similar topics have been posted but I could not find something specifically helpful... I appreciate your patience.

Similar to others, I would like to bring in configuration specific data to BOMs for toolbox hardware.  I can (tediously) set up the database to apply a Part Number and Part Description for each toolbox component that could be created, and I can bring that info into my BOM.  

The problem arises at the hardware size selection (see the attachment).  All of my Part Descriptions and Part Numbers are listed in the "favorites" list. unfortunately, that can be a long list! If i use the filters in the "Properties" area it over-writes my favorite, therefore deleting my BOM info.  

Our SW vendor tells me they've corrected the over-writing problem in 08 and 09 but an upgrade is unfeasible in the immediate future.  Hopefully someone here can help with this.

Thanks Guys,
Jimmy
