I agree that the TPA_TAA.fpj project file that you sent me has incorrect 
data in the Feff tab for TAA.

I have not, however, been able to reproduce that here.  And not for want 
of trying -- I spent the last half hour trying to find a way to 
replicate what you are showing in the TPA_TAA file.  Regardless of the 
order in which I import the two structures and regardless of whether I 
have discarded and reimported Feff calculations, when I click the "Run 
Atoms" button on the TAA cif file, I /always/ get the structure from 
Table 4 in the Kamenar paper.  I cannot reproduce the Feff tab that you 
show in your TPA_TAA project file.

I have no idea how you got into the state you show in the TPA_TAA 
project.  It is clear that something went awry, but I don't know if it 
is an error of the program or of the user.  I can't fix a problem I 
can't observe.

I understand that this is not the answer you were looking for.  I am 
simply not seeing the problem you are reporting.
