Not possible to open FM file

Hi all,

when updating a book, RH cannot open a certain file. It just tells "impossible to open" and that I should make sure that FM is installed. There are no problems with the other files. Also there is no problem when I open this file in FM directly (no broken insert references etc.).

Do you have any idea what we should look for in this file that may be causing this problem?

Robert

What version of TCS? Are you linking or importing the FM content? Where are the FM files located and where is your RH project?

Hi Jeff,

this is TCS 4 current patch version. I work locally (both RH project and FM files), the FM book is linked and the problem occurres when I intend to update.

BTW, in another project I have a possibly similar problem. When I update the book then one FM document remains untouched. RH still shows the yellow warning symbol that indicates that it is not up to date. I cannot update tthe file individually either, also no error message is displayed. RH simply ends the update without doing anything. In the log window, the last line reads ""Chapter_04_new.fm" is being converted..." as if the process is still ongoing, but it is not.

What happens when you update the book in FM? Any errors or warnings?
