BOM not updating...

I'm running 2004 SP2.1. I have a part with multiple configurations & a drawing. I'm using the bill of materials that is NOT an Excel spreadsheet. I have the AUTOMATIC UPDATE BOM toggled ON.
With the drawing open... I change the config in the view I used to insert the BOM. The BOM does not update to reflect the selected configuration. I have to select the Column Properties in the BOM & change configs there also. Can I tie the BOM to the drawing view so they both change together?

Utimately - when I'm done making parts & drawings - I want to open a drawing - select a config - print - close [cheers]

BTW - I have my VAR tech support working on this one too.
