I checked the path length name (by pasting into the root, i.e. J:...and that's not the problem.
I have a J:\20110721.imf. In it the 3 lines read (including hashes):
Version, 6.0.0.023; !- Version Identifier
##include {J:\20110721_Geo.imf}
##include {J:\20110721_HVAC.imf}
##include {J:\20110721_Plant.imf}
Nothing more, nothing less. I will put the files (that I have been "select all, copy pasting" into a master J:\20110721.idf until now, which ran fine as a idf) in the problem submittals.
Thanks.
Jean.
