Okay, i take it back... the exact same thing just occured to me... I'm working from home, one desktop, one laptop... i hook my laptop into my router for internet access... (little do i know that my cable modem is down)... As i'm working on Xrefs on my laptop - everything local on my C:drive, i go to attach an Xref and i hang... and hang... and eventually go into "MY DOCS" folder... when i unplug the network cable that leads to "no connection" i have no problems "Attaching" locally...
---SOunds like a network connectivity issue... that's my prob.
When i reboot my Modem, and there is a network to see, although i dont need the network,,, everything is fine...
