Hi, same problem here. After running solid on FM 11 w RH10 for years Im getting this same error. How did you solve it? Any insight would help immensely I’ve been troubleshooting since Dec2017.

Have you tried using File > Import > File into a blank doc? How about saving as MIF and then reopening?

Hi, save as mif didn’t work. I have not tried importing the online.ditamap.

It looks like this:

I found a site that points to the maker.ini file. Thank you so much for replying back. Much appreciated. I feel like I’m on a FM DITA island here

Check the usual suspects: enough space on drive; folder permissions; group policies; network vs local folder; etc.

Also try SaveAs to a different destination.
