Answer
Hi Jasmin

Thank you for your question but you did not say which version of CorelDraw you are using or what kind of issue you have when opening the file. This makes it very hard for me to know what your problem is.

A linked file will not show up in the link manager because the link manager is for hyperlinks (web links).

You need to look in the Object Manager and expand Layer 1. You should be able to see your bhangra.tif file as an OLE object, where it can be deleted from the list.

The most likely cause of a linked-file problem is that the linked file no longer exists on your \\lobo server. One way to get your file to open would be to place a file called bhangra.tif back into the correct location on \\lobo.
