This warning comes as part of the muliple undo implementation. Certain operations clear the memory buffer that holds the information necessary to undo previous operations. By default, FrameMaker 8.0 warns you compulsively, each and every time the buffer is about to be cleared. 

But if you go to File>Preferences>General, you'll find options that allow you to reduce the frequency of the warnings to the first time per session or to turn them off altogether.
