RE: SAving frame files with numbers at the end
HI Gillian, I had this problem with files that were created with older versions of visio, that were *embedded* in my fm file. I had this particular problem especially when I tried changing the conditional text settings. In one of the individual files, I had isolated the problematic figure and then had to delete it in order to work with the file. I found an older copy of the figure in my backup files somewhere. For these files that you mention with the funny hex endings - if you open that file in fm you'll see that one or more of you figures is shown as a grey box. That may give a clue as to the corrupted figure. As far as the books go, I also had trouble with saving books as PDF when changing conditional text settings. I tried the windows hotfix, but was still having other problems (I'm running XP/SP2- TCS 1.0). In the end, IT just reformatted my disk - so everything so far is ok - haven't done major book-building yet, then I'll know for sure if all is ok. Orly.

RE: SAving frame files with numbers at the end
I had this problem earlier this spring. I believe I was using Frame 6.0 at the time. I found that renaming the file by just removing the number suffix I could open the file, but had missing graphics. After long, agonizing trial and error by my IT guy, we found out it was not corrupted graphics, it was XP Sp3. We tried the hot fix and it didn't help. Finally I was upgraded to Frame 9. I was able to import my missing graphics without any problems and no more weird file names. The down side was my copy of Frame was so old I couldn't upgrade and I had to purchase a new copy at a pretty significant amount. I was pretty unhappy about that as I was doing just fine with Frame 6. Hope this helps.

Re: SAving frame files with numbers at the end (Flato, Gillian)
RE: Subject: SAving frame files with numbers at the end Hi Gillian These numbers are hex codes that Frame uses to manage the save operations. They should exist only for seconds or less during the save. We saw this very frequently in past years, before we switched to a newer server version. My guess is that you are working across a server connection in which the permissions for the server transmission are in conflict with the Frame save operations, which disrupt the save and leave it hanging with the hex extension. I also guess that if you moved the files to your local machine the issue would go away. We also found that only certain files had the issue, so there is a content related factor associated with this as well. Sometimes mif washing or other refreshing would clean it up. If you are on Windows XP Service Pack 3 you can have all sorts of security related issues across a server and elsewhere. Our conclusion is that there is something in the server set-up and machine connection that is causing the issue with Frame, but we never did determine exactly what the combination of conditions were. We did determine that it was machine related and user account related. Changing machines or users would often alleviate the issue.

Gillian, FM on XP/SP3 or Vista does not save documents with OLE objects. Replace them with regular referenced images or turn back to XP/SP2.

RE: SAving frame files with numbers at the end
Frame doesn't crash though. What happens though is that the next time I go to save the file, Frame tells me it can't save the file because the file has a strange suffix.
