Family Table Instances in Assemblies.

Our department is relatively new to PRO-E, and we have had very little formal training. We have been able to successfully create a couple offamily tables with some of our simpler parts (bolts, nuts, fittings, etc.). We are able to insert and constrain these family table parts into assemblies along with other, individual (non-family table) parts. However, when I reopen these assemblies, the individual .prt parts show up no problem, but I get a failure error and have to navigate to the proper directory to findthe family table instances. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how we can avoid this problem so that the family tableinstances show up in assemblies right away? Thanks for any assistance you may be able to offer.
 
We actually figured out what the problem was. Our unofficial PRO-E administrator (in another department) determined that the new family table directory had not yet been added to the PRO.search file. Once he solved that, the problem went away. Thanks anyway.
