"Publish" is a critical tool for efficient printing within AutoCAD.

I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug or if support for the Publish command is still forthcoming.

When I attempt to use the Publish command from AutoCAD '07, the following warning appears:

---------------------------
D-Tools SI 5 Projects
---------------------------
This project 'Test AutoCAD.dtl' is already open in another application. You must close that file before opening another file in the same project.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

After closing the dialog, the Publish command continues and seems to functin properly. Then when saving and closing the file, the following happens:

---------------------------
D-Tools SI 5 Projects
---------------------------
Error in Object: ConnectToShadowDatabase
Error Description: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Local Settings\Temp\BGPlot_4152\Test AutoCAD.mdb'.
Error Number:-2147467259
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
------------------------
D-Tools SI 5 Projects
---------------------------
Error in Object: SaveSI5Project
Error Description: The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
Error Number:3709
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

These errors are apparently in reference to the fact that AutoCAD opens a "hidden" version of the files in question located in "temp" folders.

This bug has been idetified and fixed (#3058) and will be part of the next release. Thanks for the help catching this and as you said the problem relates to automatic saving of temp files in the temp folder..
