One of my files on the FCP7 Timeline has gone offline. The file name is Clip #366. But when I Reconnect Media it will ONLY give me the option to Reconnect to Clip #367!

Out of frustration I tried to Reconnect to Clip #367 but then it wouldn't even allow me to do this!

What, if anything, am I doing wrong?

When in Reconnect mode, make sure you DE-select the box which allows you to ONLY select EXACT same name clips.
If you've changed the name of a file, FC will gray out the clip you want, because it's not the exact same name.
Hope this makes sense.... I'm at work using a crappy PC and cutting on AVID, so the "Reconnect Window" is not right in front of me.
