Keep calm
and
Make Frames
I would have to say that the person Ken spoke to must be a tech-idiot,
but that would not be the first I have spoken to at Adobe (re previous
discussions on Adobe's appalling registration system and advice to me to
reinstall the entire computer OS because Acrobat Pro's registration
database was corrupted).
If it were true, then that must surely make FM the only application
created since DOS was king that cannot handle networked or shared
permissions.
I think, ignore the Adobe tech-idiot and proceed with what we know to be
the truth.

¡_YIKES_!
If Ken was informed correctly, below — and I _really_ hope he was
_not_ — then that effectively rings the death knell of FrameMaker’s use
by my employer.
It was in only the last month that I got upgraded to FrameMaker 11, but
I’m happy to report that I haven’t encountered this type of problem. To
conform to _corporate_requirements_ we have FrameMaker installed on our
C:\ drives, but the files we produce and edit are on a server, so we
work with them across our local area network and, sometimes, the
wide-area network.
Dov, if you see this, will you please confirm, modify, or refute the
information Ken posted below?
¡Thanks!

I just learned from Adobe tech support (via phone call) that the permissions in
FrameMaker 11.0 have been modified so that the data files should also be on the
same hard drive where FM 11.0 is installed. Working across drives (FM here, data
files there) is no longer an accepted practice -- at least not with FM11.
Seriously? I can understand network-based locations causing issues, but
I have _/never/_ seen a problem where an executable (FrameMaker or
otherwise!) is on one drive and the “data” files are on a separate drive
_/on the **same** system/_.
In fact, I do this right now – my C drive is the usual location for all
executables (FrameMaker, Office, compilers, etc.) and my E drive
contains all my other files (including the books and files I work on).
And, I do not have any problems with this setup whatsoever. I am
surprised that Adobe thinks that this would be a problem in any way! If
really accurate, this would be a strange, and completely unacceptable,
artificial constraint.
