Book problems - Fm 8 p277 - XP

[Stephen O'Brien]

Thanks.

The files are on the network. But they are 
relatively small (66 pages) compared to other 
books (1200 pages) that work fine.

I will wash and see what happens.

Can I get any info on network timeout and using 
FM files - any documentation out there?

Thx again.
