[James Dyson]

Thank you. That did the trick. My brain was starting to hurt.

According to the FrameMaker documentation, there is a building block for
cross-references that is of the form <$paranum[paratag]>, which is
specifically designed for this kind of situation. This building block
will pick up the numbering of the last preceding paragraph that is
tagged with the "paratag" tag. If you add this building block to your
x-ref format (substituting the actual tag name of your parent step, of
course) you should be home free.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Hello all,

Does anyone know how (or if) you can make a cross-reference when two or
more autonumbered series are used?

For example: I want the cross reference to read: 
see Step2c on page 9
I had been using see Step c on page 9 (for example this is formatted:
Step <$paranumonly>\ on page <$pagenum>) or Step 2 on page 9, but I need
to consolidate in one cross reference. Can anyone help? I am using the
following autonumbering formats in my paragraph designer. 

You'll see I use two different letters for the two different numbered
series.
For the parent (Step2 in this case)
D:Step <n+>

For the child (c. in this case)
T:<a+>.\t

Thanks,
James
