RE: unresolved x-refs flagged but not found

["Alex Ragen" <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FMers--
We have an ongoing problem (FM 5.5) with this. X-refs to
stuff inside an embedded (imported) file screw up, as do
X-refs to paragraphs just before and after the embedded
file. Our solution is to update again and again until the
message goes away (temporarily) or until we just get sick of
the whole thing and print the &*(&*(&b book anyway.

Hi framers,

(Frame 5.5.6 on Windows NT; Canterbury content management
system)

We're running into a situation with unresolved
cross-references that
we wonder if anyone else has encountered.

A chapter file (A) contains a cross-reference to a chapter
(B) in another book.
When we open chapter A FrameMaker says that chapter A
contains unresolved
cross-references.  This is logical because chapter B is not
available at this
time (not checked out of the Canterbury repository).

Then we use the Find dialog to search for unresolved
references.  It finds
none.  Knowing that there's really an unresolved reference
out there, we
change the Find dialog to search for All cross-references.
When we find
the reference to the unavailable chapter B and double-click
that reference,
we discover that, in fact, FrameMaker cannot find the source
for this
reference,
even though the Find dialog has not identified it as an
unresolved reference.

So, have you seen this behavior?  My boss searched the Adobe
knowledge
base and found nothing.  She asked me to appeal to the
collective wisdom
on this list.

To complicate things a bit more, the unresolved reference to
the chapter
B actually appears inside a text inset.  When chapter B is
available,
FrameMaker resolves the reference correctly.

We're trying to track down whether this is a known
FrameMaker
behavior, or a problem with the Export facility of
Canterbury.  Please
let us know if you have seen anything like this in your use
of Frame,
and if you know anything more about what is happening.

Thanks,
martha
