Well, I'm clueless about the behavior in your follow-up posts (truly bizarre!), but you should be able to update/regenerate if all the files in the book are open. If the files are closed, FM can't update the book because it can't silently open the files in the background due to the problem that requires human intervention, but once the files are open, that's not an issue. So open all the files in the book (while pressing Shift, select File > Open All Files in Book) and then update the book. HTH! Richard G.
