Thanks for all the help so far. Here's some more info:
| One thing you need to be aware of, when FrameMaker reports a missing
graphic
| file, sometimes it is difficult to find the actual name of the file. Check
| that dialog box very carefully, it is not so easy to interpret...
Yep, I was taking into account the fact that FrameMaker reports the filepath
as well.
|I've been through that before! Have you looked on the reference pages?
Yep. I found one instance there and deleted it, but that wasn't enough.
| To create a list of references (for graphics)
<procedure snipped>
Okay - I get a blank page. So I went back to the original file and imported
a graphic and regenerated the report. The *new* graphic appears on the list
of references correctly. So I saved the altered file and re-opened it. Nope,
it still wants to know where blahblah.eps is.
The solution?
It *was* hiding on the reference pages. I did manage to delete it. But
FrameMaker continued to ask for the "missing" file until I did a Save As and
replaced the file. Now it's happy.
Thanks again to all for such a quick response!
