Frank,
Couldn't you just display all the markers with IXGEN and do a search and
replace in FM?

I came in a little late on this, but if this is the case, perhaps a
save to MIF, then running a good text-based search/replace (even
windows wordpad will do in a pinch) to correct the path/name info
would be pretty quick. Just make sure you get enough of the
surrounding MIF statement to avoid unwanted substring matches...
