Another thing I found when working on network drives at Western Electric/AT&T/Lucent is that the Drive letter that is assigned to the drive needs to be the same on all machines that will be accessing the FrameMaker documents.

Why? FrameMaker will interpret backslash sequences as special codes, for example: C:\etc\hosts.fm will interpret the '\e' as a horizontal elipse "...". The fix is to reference: C:/etc/hosts.fm Even though FrameMaker is no longer multi-platform, the recommendations still persist. // Simon BUCH _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as azdunczyk at triad.rr.com.
