Does any one know if there is a problem with The Customisation interface on Autocad 2006? I'll explain my problem.

I managed to import / transfer / migrate my own custom tool bars from 2005 into 2006 usin the customisaation transfer interface. There were a few problems getting the required icon bitmap images, but I managed (having to resave the image into the 2006 support folder then re-asigning the image to a button). I had hit the apply button for each custom button upgrade I did (to ensure the method was working...It was.)
All was going well until I tackled a 'user defined flyout' type button which had express layer tools assgined to them'. I was opening and resaving one bit map image. and suddenly I get the following message:

'The CUI file you are attemping to open is invalid - select a different CUI file and try again'

The problem is that on the CUI diagoge box ALL the cui files have dissapeared from the drop down windows at the top of each pain of the CUI. I cant therefor modify anything furhter.

The actual CUI files are still in the correct place in the support folder - its just that the interface cant read or recognise them now for some reason.

Does any one have any answers to this problem? Could it be something to do with a conflict with the Express Tools?

Any help would be welcomed.

Thanks
