I have a client who has two FrameMaker 8 books. The books were a mess (left over from a previous contractor - it was a nightmare) and they hired me to fix them.

But one thing that did work in the old books was their cross-ref setup - they need cross-refs from each book to the other one. The client knew that they had to have the Frame and pdf files in a stable folder structure that did not change. Then, when they created their two pdfs, the cross-refs "found each other" properly.

I fixed everything in the Frame docs EXCEPT those book-to-book cross-refs. I told my client that they would have to create those on their own, because I couldn't duplicate their folder structure - and they were fine with that. But I DID create all cross-refs that were within each individual book (hundreds of them - very technical books).

But now they are getting hundreds of unresolved cross-refs when they open the files in each book. I thought they must have moved some files out of the folders that I gave them in their zip files, but they swear they haven't done so.

For the life of me, I can't think of any other reason why they're having trouble with the cross-refs. Any ideas?
