Thanx Marcus
That really isnt an option for me, because my process includes 18 empty image holders. Its supposed to automatically import, instead it gives me this error window. Variable data printing and all... Quark was able to realize that the images that I was looking for were in the folder that the document resided in. InDesign isnt that smart. Maybe someone could help with increasing the knowledge with a script..?
Thanks

denice,
if you move your INDD file to another folder and you rename original folder, and in new location with INDD file you put files to relink - InDesign get him as new sources - but you need to accept this change ...

That is what I am doing now. I create new folders daily with images numbered 01,02,03... I have dummy images in the INDD that have no true "link" anymore. So when I open the document it should automatically pop in (Quark did it perfectly). If I click fix links automatically through InDesign it asks me to go through each and everyone of them. I have 500 documents to do in a day, this is not a possibility due to time constraints. If I click dont fix, I then have yellow indicators on the inks pallet. I select all the images, I click the first box on the left (link pallet) then click cancel. Then while they are all still selected i click the third box from the left (link pallet) and they all show up.
This is cumbersom and annoying If anyone has an easier way, any advise is helpful
