All:

Following up my previous query re opening all lebenty zillion text inset 
source files in a book, here is another to tax your brains.

I have added an unresolved text inset report to my book and am hunting 
down each text inset to resolve it.  However, most of these text inset 
source files are in their correct folders and the paths from the shell or 
host files to the source files are correct as revealed in Text Inset 
Properties dialogue.  When I click Open Source, I get a message like "File 
type has changed".  What does this mean?  They source files are, after 
all, ordinary old FM files!

A tiny clue lead me down a dead end -- I opened the shell or host files in 
FM 7.2 but the text insets were last saved in FM 7.0.  FM 7.0, 7.1, and 
7.2 are all installed on my computer so I was able to carry out some test 
with host and text inset source files saved with different versions of FM 
-- result: no "File type changed".

Anybody got a handle on this one?

Regards,
Hedley
