Sounds like something you might be able to do with a FrameScript. I don't know FS, but here's an algorithm idea... on FileOpen if numberOfSiblingFiles > 0 then /* there are related files */ { display "WARNING: When this file is updated, the following file(s) must also be updated:" for i = 1 to numberOfSiblingFiles readline siblingFileName /* name of file that must be updated */ displayline siblingFileName next i } else display "No sibling files exist." You would need to specify the number and names of the sibling files so that FrameScript could interpret them.... maybe something on a reference page? (Maybe siblingFileName is in a hypertext marker?) Can anyone who actually knows FrameScript and understands hypertext markers elaborate on this?
