RE: Reference Fields in VRPG

[Scott Mildenberger <Smildenber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you create a new file in the same library as the existing file that
works?  And does Code/400 find it?  It almost sounds like to me that you are
creating files in librarys that are not in Code/400's library list.  If they
are in a library not in Code/400's library list then it won't be able to
find them.
