The RSE Extension has worked for me from Softlanding...
I have to use the version 7.5, and asks me for the RDP version to accept...
I have to put a check box next to RDP 8.0 & RDP 8.5. I have both, but I mostly use RDP 8.0 on a windows 7 64-bit laptop.

   @Ken, I tried your suggestion but I received the same error in the log.
   I'm going to try and contact Softlanding as Mike Hockings suggested it may
   be a bug in the plugin.
   Thanks,
   Robert Rogerson

    Sorry to take so long getting back on this.
    @Mike, if I can open both members in edit mode does this rule out the
    issue you were describing?
    This afternoon I closed RDP after collapsing all my connections.
    I then renamed the \metadata\.log file.
    I opened rdp and checked the new log file.  There were no errors.
    I expanded my production connection to the member I wished to compare.
    There were no errors in the log file.
    I then tried to do a compare using RSE Extensions.  The following entries
    were in the log file.

  Hi Robert,
  I don't know about compare specifically but generally when you can  navigate to a file member and try to open it and nothing happens that is  likely DDM failing because there is an entry in your library list that you  don't have access to or that no longer exists - typically the latter...

  Subject:        [WDSCI-L] RSE Extensions...Compare not working
  Sent by:        [[6]4]wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
     I am using RDp 8.5.1.  I have the Softlanding plugin for RSE installed  and
     use it's functionality quite regularly.
     Today I attempted to compare ( and then apply ) a change I had made on  my
     test box to the production box.  I have a connection defined for each  box.
     I right clicked on the member on the production box and selected RSE
     Extensions->Compare and selected the compare member on test box  connection
     and library.  Open for Edit was also selected.
     When I pressed OK the dialog box disappeared but nothing opened.  I  tried
     this a number of times, even changed to Open for Browse and still  nothing
     opened.
     I did a -clean and nothing opened.
     I tried the reverse (opening the test member to compare to the  production
     member) on the test connection's member.  Nothing happened.
     I made a copy of the member in the test test library and this time it
     opened.
     So, does the compare not work against multiple connections?
     If it should work has anyone experienced this before?
     Where would I look to see what the problem is?
     Thanks,
     Robert Rogerson
