Does FM crash on Large files on a regular basis?

14MB isn't huge but the embedded content might be the culprit. Embedded media can become corrupt, particularly when saving down/up and sharing files (black hole of WTF). My advice is to get your embedded items out of there and import by reference. You'll be loading a lot less into memory. On Thu,

HI All, I thank you for your suggestions, however... I am not at liberty to change the workflow of the docs. Since many engineers use the same FM files to update the various info in the files, the Visios must remain embedded OLEs (as Art rightfully corrected me) for the engineers to update and no
