bdonelson 0 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hi, I'm hoping someone has seen this before. I receive this message as I open the file "WW Layouts.fmp12" I started receiving the message after I changed the file location. It occurs the first time my startup script attempts to access a database field. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide. Link to post Share on other sites
comment 1,799 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Well, is the file listed in External Data Sources? Link to post Share on other sites
bdonelson 0 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 That is what is confusing. I was not aware that a file needed to reference itself. I found the problem. I had to also update the links in the other files back to the original. Oops. Thank you for time and help. Link to post Share on other sites

However, a file CAN reference itself - and if the reference is in the form of an absolute path, then moving the file will invalidate the reference. I would suggest you trace all the places you have used the self-reference and replace them with a direct pointer to "current file". Edited February 16 by comment Link to post Share on other sites
