Hi,

We have been working like this with documents on a server for years with almost 
no problems.

I see what you mean by copying the documents and images locally, but in our 
case we have documents with many text insets containing images...I cannot see 
how to copy the document, its images, and its text insets and their images in a 
simple manner. I have no checkout software and count on the network file 
locking for some protection from document access by multiple users.

If I must proceed as you mention, it would require some effort and file 
reorganization.

Frame has never, ever, worked right with network drives.  This really should be 
in the KB, but I guess they don't want such features known, at least before 
purchase.  :-(

Alter your workflow to copy the docs and graphics to a local drive, and work on 
them there.  Same problem with RH, and possibly other TCS components.

Some may say it works for them, but they are a small minority...
