FM 7.1 cannot find file to cross-ref to
I'm not sure if this is of much help, but I just did a test in Frame 6. I opened a book, opened two files from the book, and then inserted a cross ref from one open file to the other. When the cross ref dialog opened, I clicked on the down arrow to expand the document list, and nothing happened. I then remembered that there is a problem with Frame when you run the Classic Style windows and buttons on XP (as I do) - sometimes I had to click on the arrow 3 times to get the drop down list to appear. However, as Fred said, when the cross ref dialog opens, the Document field is active and you can use the down arrow to select the correct file from the list.

It's possible to launch multiple instances of FM. Files open in one instance aren't considered open by another instance, so they won't appear in the open file pull-down list in the cross-references dialog box. Check that the files are open in the same active instance of FM.

Re: FM 7.1 cannot find file to cross-ref to
To be more clear, only one instance of Frame is open. When ALL files in the book are open, it is possible to create a cross-ref to another file of the book. FM correctly lists all the book files in the Document drop-down list. However, when only the two files are open, FM does not list the other file name in the Document drop-down list, only the Current file. This is true when any two files are open. It's a puzzlement.
