I knew you could put books inside of books, but I haven't tried importing variables into a book file that contains other book files. I wasn't sure if Frame would open the document files as well as the book files.
My concern with doing that sort of thing was that Edwin said there were hundreds of files to be updated. Opening that many either all at once or one by one, as Frame does when the files aren't already open, could tie up even the most robust system for a long time.
