FM > RH Integration: Broken Link to Book

[CDMiller]

I thought that I had fixed this issue. But, I ran into @ a
recent conference where I met someone who experienced the same issue. The
problem is that when you integrate projects from FM to RH on the same
computer they retain that path. If you change the directory of one, you must
re-establish the connection.

This is all well and good. However,m if you move the FM>RH project to
another computer and try to open the RH project, it asks you to re-establish
the link. Again, well and good.

The real problem occurs when you try to do this for several RH projects
coming out of the same FM book. In this case, there is no message to relink
the RH and FM book (as RH does in the previous cases). Instead you cannot
update the RH topics from the book, cannot relink the FM book, nor do
anything else, really.

I ran into this with colleague at work. We were zipping the projects and
putting them into a CMS. Then we'd download them and unzip. He received this
bad error and eventually the complete corruption of the project (yes, even
after deleting the .cpd file). I fixed this problem for the ONE FM>RH
project that he had by deleting the book and re-adding it by reference.

Then I met someone at this conference who had the same problem. I thought I
had the fix for him. But it turns out that it did not work on his machine.
Now I am experiencing the same problem.

I have had to port several projects from MS XP to 2007. And I just spent all
day having to recreate four projects in Japanese from the same FM book
because 1) RH did not ask me to relink the book, 2) I could not delete the
book and re-add it, 3) and when I did try to delete the book from the RH
project, RH shuts down and says "Woops, sorry, we have a problem. Sorry.
Bye." (Almost literally.)

Then it completely goes bonkers and just shuts down - sans message - without
any indication about what is going on.

Has anyone had or experienced this same issue? I have some major projects
that I will have to port to this upgraded operating system. I know that it
is not the OS since it occurred on this other person's computer who was not
using the same OS as I have. So what is it?
