Is this part supposed to be Friday humor, or do you really not know how
to navigate your file system? Do you know in which directory (folder)
you saved your FM file? Do you know the directory path and how to change
directories?

Have you tried looking them up in the FM user guide or online help?

I'm confused. If I remember the original post correctly (and what you
say here seems to confirm it), you already *sent* the FM file to them --
you said they got an error message about a missing graphic when they
opened it. This time, you started by saying you couldn't *find* the FM
file. Huh? 

Did you misspeak above -- is it the *graphic* that you can't find, not
the FM file? You can determine the source of imported graphics by
creating an Index of References (look that up in the FM help). 

Then again, maybe I just don't understand your problem. :-}
