supajiggi Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi All, I work using a permanent addressed server, all files are held on the server and in the same folder for each project or if it is a shared resource, it is held in a permanent shared folder. Every time I reopen a project, ap message "missing Resource s". So I am spending time re linking the files, I am new to ap so I might be doing something stupid. File server is shut down at night. Any guidance gratefully received. Many thanks in advance Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 One hint, if you have to relink, and all the linked files are in the same directory: When you open the document, and you get the prompt, do not respond Resource Manager; respond Yes. Then locate the first file. All the rest will be found automatically. Next, a question: You say the file server is shut down at night. Are you also shutting down Publisher on your workstation? If not, you might try that. supajiggi 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, you might try that. I was curious if Publisher would do this. In Indesign you have a box you can check to search for remaining links in the same folder. Would be smart if it works like this. I have no projects to try this out on myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in the dialog you get if you respond Yes to the prompt.

Hi Walt and thank you for the reply, Bumped into the "Respond" bit by accident after posting and of course found that very useful. With regard to server and publisher, both are shut down at the end of the day. Work station first and then server last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 You're welcome. It sounds as though when the server and workstation are restarted, you're getting something different in the path leading to the linked files. supajiggi 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supajiggi Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 @walt.farrell Hi Walt, done some digging and found the answer 🙂 We have 2 computers and 1 server. One pc was referencing the server by "Name" the other was referencing by "IP" . This meant the address url was different. Managed to get them both referencing by name and all is well. Thank you and others on here, you have been a great help. Best regards Ian walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
