Hi Angela,
I haven't seen your or Zoe's previous posts on this topic, so I may be
off base.
I think the problem lies in your xref format where you've put the
variable name "BookName" in the square brackets rather than the
paragraph tag name, "BookTitle". See the Help topic, Examples of
cross-reference formats -- the last row in the table and the
explanations below should help.
Frame is looking for [pgftag], not [variable].
HTH,
