Thank you for your quick response David. I cant get by the Missing File window. I can click on ignore or skip 100 times and Frame just keeps redisplaying the Missing File window. Frame will not allow me to skip or ignore, I cannot get access to the Frame file unless I update to the new drawing.

Rick, The only way that I can see is that something in the path or filename of the graphics must be different or you aren't saving the Frame file once you have redirected the file to point to the proper graphic file location. When you open a Frame file, that can't locate a referenced graphic, and you select to skip this file, the next time you open that particular Frame file, it will again ask for the correct graphic file location, even if you have saved the file. Check the path and filename of the referenced graphic files. The complete path and filename MUST remain identical. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Melanson [mailto:rmelan...@spirecorp.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 10:34 AM To: David Spreadbury; Combs, Richard; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Import by Reference Question/Bug ? Hi Framers, I have Frame 8 with all the updates/patches running on a WinXp system with 3gig RAM, 500gig HD, and a 2GHz Core 2 CPU. I have about 55 drawings imported by reference in a single Frame file. When one or more of the imported by reference drawings changes, Frame gives the option to update the path to the drawing or to skip the file or ignore all missing files. When I try to select skip this file or ignore all missing files, frame just redisplays the Missing File window. I have made sure Frame is not looking for a different drawing, I cannot get Frame to skip or ignore. Anyone ever had this problem, thank you all in advance for your help. Rick
