I just installed the Do-more designer 2.0.3. When I create a simple one input X0, and one output Y0, then Accept and save, the simulator responds with:
"ATTENTION! There are differences between the offline project and the PLC you are connected to!"
The problem is that I am only offline, and have selected the simulator.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
How do I fix it?

When you say you're offline, are you "online" even with the Sim?

The simulator is not really a simulator, it's a virtual PLC and works exactly like a real PLC.
When you first connect to a PLC, and you have an offline project open, it compares the online and offline projects to see if they are the same. If so, it just connects. If not it asks you which project you want to load into DmD, either keeping the offline, or replacing with what was read from the PLC. In your case you would probably want offline.

Like BObO said, it's acting like a virtual PLC. It's either empty, or contains the last things you simulated. You want to go online and view the DISK project. Then you need to load your project into the PLC. Then it'll simulate your program. Just imagine it's an actual PLC instead of a screen on your computer!
