<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">(Windows7, FM9)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The server (ex. <a href="file:///\\Server">
\\Server</a>) that houses our FM files is assigned a logical drive X:. I believe this has something to do with protecting against viruses.
<span style="color:red">FM does not like this</span>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For example, when an image is imported into a FM document using the X: path, the image blinks in the FM document, as if FM continually updates the definition of X: and the image path becomes momentarily unknown and then
becomes known (and so the blinking where the image is displayed and then appears in gray and so on).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Now I realize that some cross-references to other FM documents contain X: in the target document path. FM does not like that either. May crash because of this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Our IT guy says that the X: cannot be removed (same profile for all). My team of tech writers usually uses a shortcut (defined correctly from
<a href="file:///\\Server">\\Server</a>) to open books/documents but someone always forgets. I now have scripts that check the path for x-refs and images imported by reference.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Does anyone know if this problem exists in later versions of FM (10 or 11)? That would solve this problem once and for all.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Many thanks,</span></p>
