Can't Open a FM File
Hi Pearl We had a corrupted file once where the problem was that somehow we'd screwed an imported text inset (the TOC). It was set to automatically update insets and couldn't, so crashed. We deleted the TOC file and the chapter opened okay. So if you're linking to any other files, not just graphics, try renaming them. To repeat what everyone else has said, we have our graphics in a separate folder and reference them with no problems. You can always get the name of the referenced files out of FM. Cheers, Rebecca >>> 9/12/05 05:27 >>> Hi Dominick, I do not reference my graphics, but this may be a good reason to do so. Altho having the graphics in the files makes them larger, I also thought it would be easier to manage the book without a directory of graphics. I'd be interested to hear from those of you who reference graphics about how hard it is (or isn't) to keep track of the graphic files.

Can't Open a FM File
Hi Pearl, I once had a problem with a corrupted file, and there the heroic open didn't help, but opening it while suppressing the automatic update of references. > To open a document without updating references: > 1.Choose File?> Open, and select the file you want to open. > 2.Do one of the following: > * (Windows) Control-click Open. Also, feel free to send me the file privately, I'll try if I'm able to open it (using Frame on Mac). I'm keeping my graphics in a separate directory and have absolutely no problems with that.

Hi Dominick, I do not reference my graphics, but this may be a good reason to do so. Altho having the graphics in the files makes them larger, I also thought it would be easier to manage the book without a directory of graphics.

If it is hanging-up on a graphic, and you reference your graphics, try renaming the graphics folder. If the file is not corrupt, Frame should open the file and issue an error message. Dominick A.

First, I have a two or three letter prefix for each book (HRP, Pub, DM, CPF, etc.). That prefix is included in the name of every file and every graphic. All my files go in one one directory and all my graphics go in a subdirectory off that file directory. The vast majority of my screen shots are of web pages or parts of web pages since I'm documenting a large HR portal. I name my graphics with three elements; the project name, then the header title of the screen, then the state of the screen. Use an underscore between elements, never use spaces anywhere in the file name. For instance, I have a project with the code HRP, then a GUI page with the title "Login Pages", one showing a Login code window prior to putting in the code and after the code is entered. Therefore, my images have the following names: HRP_LoginPages_BeforeLoginCode.gif HRP_LoginPages_AfterLoginCode.gif This my not work well for you, it does for me.

Re: Can't Open a FM File
Hi Pearl, I once had a problem with a corrupted file, and there the heroic open didn't help, but opening it while suppressing the automatic update of references. To open a document without updating references: 1. Choose File > Open, and select the file you want to open. 2. Do one of the following: * (Windows) Control-click Open. Also, feel free to send me the file privately, I'll try if I'm able to open it (using Frame on Mac). I'm keeping my graphics in a separate directory and have absolutely no problems with that. Good luck. Dona On Dec 8, 2005, at 9:24 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Unfortunately this doesn't work either.

Re: RE: Can't Open a FM File
Hi Dominick, I do not reference my graphics, but this may be a good reason to do so. Altho having the graphics in the files makes them larger, I also thought it would be easier to manage the book without a directory of graphics. I'd be interested to hear from those of you who reference graphics about how hard it is (or isn't) to keep track of the graphic files.

Re: Can't Open a FM File
Hi, Pearl: It's more likely a corrupt file than a memory issue. Have you tried the "open heroic" method? In FM, tap and rekease these keys in sequence: Escape lowercase o uppercase H Then select the file in the Open dialog box. If it opens successfully, save it immediately to a new name.

I've tried closing everything and rebooting and then opening only that file, but I get the same message. -- Regards, Peter Gold [EMAIL PROTECTED] KnowHow ProServices http://www.knowhowpro.com 612.823.7113 ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
RE: Can't Open a FM File
If you're setup for backup saves...have you tried opening the *.backup.fm? Dominick A.
