Cannot manage linked file with a slash in the name!!!

My first reaction was...Jimoblak needs help? I am so used to seeing you help everyone that I was stunned....
I guess it is too simple to suggest that the creator of the document is still around and they can give you another copy - but they change the filename (a/b.eps) before sending it to you. Or that you can send them the document and they fix the problem on a their MAC. Or a friend of yours has a MAC and can get at the file to delete or rename it?
I am sure you have aqlready thought of these possibilities, but I thought I'd mention them anyway.
Good luck.

Thanks for the thoughts. I was eventually able to delete and re-place the graphic. My entire system was acting up that day and it prevented the delete. After a stern talking to and a reboot, the computer behaved.

I think I have resolved my Mac-PC issues. Since I do not use a Mac at work, I use FTP and VNC to remotely operate my Mac at home. I wonder if I should lease the use of my Mac to my employer??...
