<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I recall that when I've had Frame files (that had been moved) looking for graphics in a certain directory and couldn't find them, if I pointed the first one to the correct directory, it found the rest in that same directory.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Now, caveats being that in my case, the frame files and the graphics files are both on sub-directories of the same network drive name, and all the graphics files are in one folder, so I don't know if this works if it has to navigate to the "root" of a different drive, as Fred references below.</div>

But I'm not sure because I have *never* kept files for any FrameMaker project in more than one partition because I know that this practice forces FrameMaker to use absolute paths to the referenced files rather than relative paths. As much as possible (and it's not always possible when using any files that are shared among multiple documents) I have always kept all files for any given document in subdirectories within the same branch of my directory structure. <br>
