Question Disappearing Sub Documents

Hi!

I am very puzzled over an issue wuith Sub documents that I have come accross before.
I have a master document with 23 sub docs (pages vary between 1 page - 15 pages per sub)
Everytime I save the master and either exit or save as a PDF, at least 2 sub docs completely disappear?! No error message comes up - they just disappear like I never added them in the first place.

Anyway, I have tried to troubleshoot and insert eh subs in a number of ways. The latest thing I did was copy the holder of subs onto my desktop (so it's local) and created a new master using these subs. I insterted via object > text > insert link rather than the usual way, and it was all working fine. I even saved and closed it and it all worked. Anyway i edited one of the subs and re-opened the master to check if the changes had carreid through - but they hadn't. So I right clicked and clicked update field and it deleted all but 2 sub documents! I could undo it, but each time I clicked update feild it would do the exact same thing.

Can someone give me any suggestions as to what i should do or try or what I am doing wrong that may fix this? It's so bizarre - i have never come across this before and it has everyone stumped!
