dreamweaver 8 loses recordset and auth server behavours

Since migrating to vista (didn't notice the problem on xp) I am finding that dreamweaver 8 keeps losing my recordset and user authentication server behavours. I cant see a pattern to this yet i.e. sometimes it retains everything after exit/restarting DW and other times it will just lose it when switching docs with the app still running.

Has anyone else noticed this behavour?

not a bug - it would appear that my declaration order was wrong

I had

<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Instead of

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

dont know how that happened

I have now discovered that it is the action of updating a .dwt template and updating all files based upon the template which causes the server behavour to be lost in my pages.

It is a problem in both xp and vista.

Please could someone try to replicate to verify this as a bug. Thanks
