Howdy,OK, the SDK documentation says:

If the tag is newly added to an object, no problem, but if a file is loaded with the old tag on an object, and I call:
>

One solution was to change the ID number of SUB_CONTAINER to an ID that was never used by the old version of the tag, BUT the question is how can I get rid of all of the old data and ID's? None of the data stored in the old tag version's container is being used at all in the new tag version.
When an old file is loaded, I have it polling for the message MSG_MULTI_DOCUMENTIMPORTED so it can check for an older version of the tag. I was hoping to be able to get rid of the old stuff there, but I tried BaseContainer::RemoveData(), BaseContainer::RemoveIndex() and even BaseContainer::FlushAll() and nothing seems to wipe the slate clean. :o(

Adios,

Sorry I can't confirm. FlushAll() seems to work fine for example:

Howdy,
Well, all I can say is DOH! DOH! DOH!. :o(
The problem was that my code was written like this:
>
\> case MSG_MULTI_DOCUMENTIMPORTED: \> { \> if(DISK_LEVEL < 1) FlushOldData(tData); \> } \>... when it should've been written like this:

\> case MSG_MULTI_DOCUMENTIMPORTED: \> { \> if(tData->GetLong(DISK_LEVEL) < 1) FlushOldData(tData); \> } \>DOH!
I can't believe I looked at that all day long and couldn't see the mistake. :o(
Oh well, thanks for the support anyway.
