DOORS 9.2 -Unable to delete an Attribute Type for which I have RMCDA access

Hello All,
I am encountering a rather strange situation. I am trying to delete an "Attribute Type" that DOES NOT have a dependent "Attribute Definition". I have RMCDA access on the attribute. Yet, I am unable to delete it. I even tried logging in as the Adminstrator of the database and I am unable to do delete the attribute. Does anyone know how I can work around this? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Regards,

Pranav

The Delete button is grey'd out? Is the module open Edit? Are you SURE there is no attribute def using that type? How do you know? Can you create some other type, then delete it? Can you change its name? Change characeristics? Do you have RMD access to the module?

Hi Louie,
I am embarrassed to say that I just realized it was a predefined "type" and hence cannot be deleted. It was just once that I had never noticed in all these years of using DOORS. Thank you for your prompt acknowledgment of my post either way.

Date_Long no doubt. Don't know when that one crept in.

Actually Louie, I wish I could say that was the one. My embarassment wouldn't be that bad if that was the one. It was "user name" (Clearly, I am very self absorbed!!!). Thank you for acknowledging my post.
