Thanks Randy-
I hadn't seen that post (I was searching on "link" not "linking"! oops.)

Also, thanks for your hilarious (and yet of course very sad) post regarding this issue on April 4th.

I tried the preset from Jyrgen (and detached/ loaded anew), but must have something else going on with my setup as well.

<<insert brief break, phonecall from tech support>>

I have a service call in on this, and just spent some time on the phone with Steve at Microsol Resources in NY (Reid Addis also works there, and was helping me a couple weeks ago)- Steve was able to get the file link to work on his machine, and it's now looking like there are some system settings that I'll need to change to get this to work. He also has a service call in at AutoDesk, so hopefully between the two they can figure out which settings allow file link to work. On Steve's machine, it was working OK when he changed (in ADT):
Options>Open and Save>Proxy images for custom objects:
Show proxy graphics
(My ADT was already set to this, so there must be something else going on. But I'm hopeful since he was able to link the file, after having the same display/link issue on his machine.)

I'll repost with any info I get-


Thanks for your detailed reply Randy!
Michele

p.s.- and, wow, the Max issues are really disturbing. I have a request in to upgrade, but $$ may be an issue. If I actually get the software and there's no file linking, it's going to be interesting. Yikes.
