Cannot find the file named...

Thanks, Heiko, but I don't understand how the OS or network gets
fingered when ALL other applications that I use work normally. Even
Adobe applications.

If Frame is too impatient, that's a BUG, not a 'problem' with the
ever-so-slow network. I was hoping to learn about some kind of INI file
setting (make it more patient, perhaps?) or known conflicts with other
applications, which can bork up the automatic application launching.

If the gods are good, I won't be using FM any more in a quarter or two,
so I'll just bull along with the broken beast until then. I don't have
the bandwidth to rebuild my work machine to try to blindly ferret out
some conflict or screwed up FM DLL or whatever....

Thanks anyway;
David

 Hello David,
 lately I have a similar problem: double-clicking takes verrrry long to
start the application and to open the file, whereas the normal Open
dialog from within the application works as usual.
 This is not always the case, but if, then it happens with any
application, also MS Word, Excel and so on. 
Here it helped to uncheck the DDE option for those file-types (which is
not possible for Frame-files), but today I saw that the option is
checked again mysteriously.
 So my guess about this would be that its rather a problem with the OS
or with the network, not necessarily with FrameMaker.
FM seems to expect a quick answer from the OS and handles the delay as
file error (my interpretation, only a guess).
 I am using Windows XP here, by the way.
If someone has an explanation to this problem, I would also be very
glad.
 Best regards
 Tino H. Haida, Berlin
