bdonelson Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Well, is the file listed in External Data Sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdonelson Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A file does NOT need to reference itself. 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".
