Another tidbit of information....

I wanted to fix the darn SCREEN OVERLAP in the TV object (graphisoft's)... SO naturally, you can't overwrite it (keeping the .lcf virgin)... so I SAVED AS "KHA_PlasmaTV". All was fine yesterday, but today I wanted to further edit it, so I selected in the plan and edited then hit SAVE... Instead of just overwriting my file from yesterday, it said that I "Already had a file named that and would I like to rename it?"

There IS something screwy with this ID stuff. I am NOT a programmer, so I can't debug this kind of stuff. Hopefully some can take the ball and run with it.

Did you check that it was writing to the same library? I find that AC often forgets where the part opened from and the save dialog comes up and points somewhere else. You should be able to redirect and overwrite.

Yes I was able to overwrite by navigating to the correct place. I think the issue for me is that it should have never asked to save a NEW version if I simply chose SAVE. It should have known that it was THE existing object from the current library and simply overwrote it without a dialog.
