DGW and using the BP Properties options confusion

Question

Scenario:
I have two different document generation sets saved:
DGW is run and save with name name1and it using BP Selection Criteria with  the BP properties button set to use "And with properties 1 checked."
DGW is run again and save with name2 and it using BP Selection Criteria with  the BP properties button set to use  "And with properties 2 checked"
When I then run DGW and select use existing parameter set Setname1 and go to the BP Selection Criteria and check the properties button it has properties 2 checked, where it was saved with properties1 checked.
Is this normal behavior or am I doing something wrong?
I am on 2007A SP0 PL42

You need to set the EssProperties class you created into the EssOperations class:set oEssOperations.EssProperties = <your property class instance>Alternatively, you can modify, in place, the instance of EssProperties that EssOperations already has:with oEssOperations.EssProperties .MissingTextString = "Boo!" .UseAliases = trueend withThink of the Essbase Objects Base Classes sort of as a molecule.. The 'basic atom' of the molecule is the EssOperations class (which contains the normal retrieve/zoom/pivot type of operations). Attached to the 'basic atom' are the things that are needed for a successful operation.. First, a connection (the EssConnection object) is 'plugged into' the molecule. Next, properties (an EssProperties object) is plugged in.. Finally, you need a grid to display it on so you plug in a grid object (or, more technically, one of the components that implement the IEssGrid interface).Once you have all of the 'atoms' of the grid plugged in, you have everything you need to do a successful operation.Tim TowApplied OLAP, Inc
