Hi Brad,

If you have a project's "Update IDL Path Preference" property turned on
and you close it, then the IDL Workbench will try and remove it from the
path. If it doesn't, then it could be a bug or the associated directory
was already on the path (was manually added). The workbench will only
remove one instance of a directory, not all occurrences.

From what I understand of your situation, the "linked resources"
approach seems the perfect way to go. Just to reiterate for the general
audience, if you have the IDL Workbench manage each project, then
closing currently unused projects will indeed help with the network
traffic situation (and reduce "analyzing code" if that's the main
concern). So in your case, the key to lowering network traffic is
indeed to limit the number of unneeded PRO files on the path. Pointing
to them with a project is fine, just close them when they're not needed.

Cheers,
Doug
