Yes, I think I did. I've certainly saved and updated several times since, to no avail.

Jeff_Coatsworth Jan 29, 2014 6:35 AM (in response to exteritylaura)Since I haven’t played at all with the Publish feature in FM, I can’t offer too much help, but years of dealing with RH tells me that your path is way too long. Best practices usually dictate using as short a path as you can – c:\projects\project_name\ is recommended.

Thanks.

Jeff_Coatsworth Jan 29, 2014 6:40 AM (in response to exteritylaura)Did you introduce any characters into your book/file names? Like commas, dashes, etc.? That might be throwing things off…
