I get CDD-22400 but there is no external reference.

Hi,
This message is related to the one I posted last week "Check constraint or database trigger disappear + Dr Watson".
I work with Designer 9i (9.0.2.5) under NT4 SP6 and with db 9.2.0.3.
I have more details and I can reproduce the behaviour.
Here is the scenario:
1. I create a view without source tables and columns (I just put a name and click FINISH in the design editor wizard).
2. I get the error CDD-22400: Attempt to view or modify an object outside of the current workarea.
3. As suggested by the Action field, I use the External References utility, but it doesn't retrieve anything.
4. A collateral very annoying effect: the view I just defined is createad but other objects (view, constraint, trigger) that I create after are lost when I leave the Design Editor and I come back.
Did anyone face this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Jean-Jacques Porrovecchio

Salut Jean-Jacques,
error CDD-22400 normaly occurs when one of your objects refers to an object outside your workarea.
This is rather weird in your case as you created a view without specifying any source table/column.
The only thing I'm thinking of could be that SYSTEM FOLDER is missing from your Workarea.
Regards,
Didier.
