Krap.  I was hoping it was some bonehead thing that is known by some and that I can
safely ignore it.  While the compile completes and the design appears to work, I
certainly don't like the error.  If I know I should ignore it that's one thing...  

At some point in time, I will uninstall ISE, download a fresh copy of everything for
ISE, and reinstall.  I will then test it before and after applying updates in case
this is an issue with one of the updates.

Or do you have another, perhaps better thing to try?

Thanks Eric.
