chrisv Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Hi I've created a number of files in Publisher with no real problems. However I have created one file 65Mb which causes Publisher to hang when I try to open it. I get the message on screen Missing Resource(s). Some of your linked resource files are missing. Would you like to locate them? However I'm unable to click on either Yes or No and have to close down Publisher using Task Manager. A few times before this I was able to open the file by clicking on No but this option is not available to me now. It seems to have occurred since the last update. I've just confirmed that the problem is something to do with the update. I've located earlier versions of the file which I was able to open and edit, they're producing the same behaviour in Publisher Is the file corrupted now? Can I get it back or not? thanks Edited March 20, 2019 by chrisv New Information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFisher Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi chrisv Could you provide the file so I can test this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisv Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 I've now sorted this out. I tried to load a previous version of Publisher, which of course didn't work. I then uninstalled Publisher, including all extraneous files, using an uninstall programme and then reinstalled This enabled me to open the file, I then replaced each of the missing linked files and saved the file with a new file name. The file now opens. I had renamed one of the folders in which I stored my images which caused the broken links, there were about 20. Let me know if it would still be useful for you to have a copy of the "broken" file regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisv Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi JFisher Update, the new file does still open but only if another file is opened in Publisher first! If it's the first file to open Publisher just closes down. I've attached the new file with all the links made to the missing files. thanks Unit_85_Video_Working.afpub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisv Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Update The latest Beta (downloaded 26.3.19) seems to have solved the problem. Both the old file (which didn't open most of the time) and the modified file now open with no problems. Also files seem to open much more quickly in the new beta.
