Thank you , I appreciate your help on this and I have pinged those files over to you.
... just so I understand, are you suggesting working from the desktop each day and then saving back on to server i.e.: at the end of each day? Also then, can the image links be kept on the server? Or does the whole links folder also need to be on desk top... I am just confused as Indesign didn't struggle with working in this way so it seems counter intuitive given typical methods of professional working methods.... would love your thoughts. It's helpful to understand the whys behind the problems in any case so thank you for any insight....
