That's okay - Inventor will do that to the best of us! You haven't by any chance re-named any of the files since you used them in the assembly, have you? If so, you will always have problems with those until you replace them in the assembly with the parts with the new names. If this is the case, you can use "Replace Component" in the assembly to point Inventor to the correct file.

There is a "shotgun" approach which I've used when the files have gotten completely screwed up - do a "Pack and Go" on the assembly to create a new directory of parts with the linkages (hopefully) fixed. This reduced the errors exporting a screwy robot assembly to VS Max from 544 to 4, but I would only do this as a last resort.
