Hi Tod,
thanks for the reply but no joy
I got that far first off but the file its trying to find doesn’t even appear on the list.
tried deleting all prefs, changed scratch disks, tried copying another file to the same name and pointing to that but its greyed out
totally gazumped on this one
there must be a way of deleting the reference to that file within the project
I went to render manager and deleted all render files, re-saved project, opened it up again…and it still popped up again trying to find this damn file….nightmare
been at this for hours now
