WF5 and Info>Bill of Materials Issue?

WF5 and Info>Bill of Materials Issue?

WF5 and Info>Bill of Materials Issue?

(OP)
Hey everyone,


Per my earlier thread (see http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=259093&page=1 ), I've updated to Pro/E Wildfire 5 M010.  This corrected the rotation speed issue that the other thread is about but the update hasn't seem to corrected another issue I have.

I've got a bom format that was used with the WF3 installation I upgraded from. This had worked fine when I used the info>bill of material method to create the html version of the bom.  However, something seems to have changed when upgrading to WF5 as neither F000 or M010 date codes appear to work.  

Has the format syntax changed with WF5?  When I go info>bill of materials like usual with the html format set in the config.pro file I end up with a blank white page in the browser.  The text format appears to work but it's missing columns.  Would the fact that I'm still using the config.pro I had in WF3 have anything to do with it?

Thoughts?

Update:

After researching around again, I finally noticed that it was just a syntax/formatting issue with the file that I was given.  Apparently the way it was constructed worked fine in WF3 but was missing details to work in WF5 so it just gave me a white page.

Now that I've got that settled, time to remake the format to be useful.
