OrCAD capture: Unable to link to database which is hindering the entire process of creating netlist and importing netlist to PCB editor and doing layout.

Hi,

I am having trouble linking a part to the database. When I try to link, all the other parts in my schematic get approved, but this one temporary part I created says "Temporary: Not approved", and gives me the error "Update part- Occurence..." and says that the database properties do not match my schematic properties. I even tried clicking "yes' for this to update the info. to my database properties, but nothing changes whether I click "yes" or 'no". 

I also tried placing the part again from the beginning but now it says "ERROR(ORCIS-6184): The selected component cannot be placed on the schematic. Refer to Session Log to resolve the error". Any idea why this could be happening? FYI this part is a homemade component and its been added in our database along with footprint and everything else that's required.

    I think I got my answer. Because its a temporary part it will be not defined/not approved until the part as been processed.
