Assembly won't allow finding new part locations

[jamesframes]

I'm looking for help.
In the past when I have opened an assembly and a part contained within has been moved to a different folder not on the reference path list, it comes up surpressed on the feature manager tree - but when I click on it to unsupress it or to open it I get a dialog box that allows me to manually serach for the part inthe folder tree. Once I do this the assmembly file remembers the new location in the future.
Now however, the part appears suppressed as before, but nothing happens when i click the unsuppress icon and when I right click and try to open the part nothing happens (and I do mean absolutely nothing - I am just ignored).
Do I have a bug? I can't find a setting in tools/options that effects this.
Running 2008 Sp5.0 (soonto go to 2010 but want to know this issue first).
(I am going to be moving alot of legacy files to new directories in the near future - want to be sure i understand the ramifications before I do.)

I would try using SW Explorer to see the file locations. This would reveal if there any missing reference.

 

[handleman]

Tools->Options, System Options tab, Advanced category. Check the box for the message you aren't getting anymore.

-handleman, CSWP (The new, easy test)

Some command dialogue boxes have a "Do not ask again" option. Sometimes (even if not selected) this option will activate itself. To reset it, go to Tools > Options > System Options > Advanced and select the relevant option.


When moving files it is often better to use SW Explorer, or Pack and Go.

The File > Open > References method also works well.

Thanks - that message turned off location was exactly what I needed.
