Hey Peter.  I'm having a similar problem that I'm pretty sure is caused by a corrupt JPEG.  I can't even delete the JPEG.  InDesign crashes everytime after giving me an error (Error code: 3).  I can't export to IDML, though I have been able to save all my text (over 100 pages) by exporting to PDF without any images.  I've refreshed preferences, deleted recovery files, and everything else I can think of.  I've had this problem with some of the images before and simply deleted the corrupt file and placed a new PSD in place of the corrupt JPG, but, for some reason, I can't get passed this one image.  Everytime I scroll down to the page with the bad image, I begin to get error after error.  I can't select it to delete it.  Very frustrating.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work.  I tried to move the jpg but as soon as I get to that page or click on it in the links panel, I automatically get an error code: 3 message and then the software just cascades from there.  When I try to relink the graphic in the links panel nothing happens.  I even get an error when trying to unembed the graphic.  I've tried just about everything.  I'm think that if maybe I could just delete that entire page without actually looking at the page, I may be able to recover the rest of the document.  This has been one of the biggest headaches I've ever had to deal with as far as software goes and I deal with it every day (I'm a developer).  Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

Oh, and I wasn't sure how to "open as a copy."  I made a copy of the file and tried to open it but it reacted the same as the original.  Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning?

Thanks again for your help.
