I recall a previous thread where you could view the UNC path for an import in a bin column but IIRC the heading was only available in 24 Frame projects or something like that. Don't know if that's changed of late but if that heading is available perhaps that might give you a clue. I'm not sure if that heading would apply to AMA or not as I haven't had to use AMA in my online workflows YET!!!!!
