Yes applogies forgot to mention all the files are kept and worked on from a Windows 2003 Server
Thanks vacmac for the link. Thing is were using Indesign CS and not CS2. But the sypmtoms do seem to be very similar.
It does suggest to manually re-link all the files again. Which is fine (except there are lots and lots of files) but when the file is saved and then re-opened it asks for the links to be re-linked again even though the files are in the same location as before.
I will look into the accented characters though just to make sure.
Thanks for you help
