MKYIP,

This has been covered quite a few times in this very same
discussion group, the problem usually occurs when trying to BIND
an XREF. Pan down through the posts...
(hint: look for a post from Cook, Peter dated: 06/07/2001
and read the replies) or go to
http://discussion.autodesk.com and use the Search function
with a keyword of XREF.
