OK Ive gavered the problem!
When im working on a track say i have lots of midi parts on the go as well as audio well when im ready to get one of my midi parts off as audio I usually open another screen with nothing on it and copy my midi part out of my track and paste it in to my clean version for quallity reasons then record it off as audio then I copy the audio part then paste it back in to my project but I think when i defraged it last it must of moved it about a bit and like you say do a search for the file but when u record a part off it usually names it audio 001 or what ever it names it at but when i look for the missing file it brings up say 15 files named that part obviously coz Ive recorded it off and the computer names the part!! so is there a way of when u record it off to name the part instantly so when it searches for it next time I can find it instantly!!!
Does that make sense???
