Can not update books anymore. FM2019

I'm working with the German-language FM. When I try to update a book, I get an error message which translates something like: 'Book could not be updated because it contains no non-generable files that can be opened.' 

 

I've attached the original German Error message. 

 

I had not worked with Framemaker for several months now; the books I'm working with have been existing for years, and I've never had this problem before. 

 

Grateful for any solutions!

    Strange … Please try this: Open all files in the book manually (and keep them open, save if necessary (if they have an * in the file name tab)) and then try to update the book? Do the IVZ and AVZ update then?

    What happens, when you try to open the non-generated files in your book manually:

    M12 D 00.fm

    M17 D 09.fm

    M17 D 00-RS.fm

    Can you open them without any error messages?

    Hi Stefan, thanks for the quick reply!

    No problems with opening these manually.
