external reference frustration

I have an assembly that contain parts (as well as sub-assemblies) that are all defined completely within the assembiy, and saved externally.
No matter what I try I cannot save the main assembly under a new name using "save as" and "references" and maintain the references in context. I keep getting question marks on all the parts/sub-assemblies when I open the newly-saved assembly. I've tried saving the parts/sub-assembiles in a new folder, renaming them using the suffix/prefix option, checking and unchecking the "save as copy" options, played a bit with System Options - External References, but nothing seems to work.
Am I doing something wrong? Very frustrated about this; help greatly appreciated!
I'm using SW2008, SP4.0 on WinXP.

The best way to solve it is to get away from parametric-history based modeling and use better technology. I'm sure this isn't the answer you want to hear but it is the best answer and it is an honest answer.

Wait a little & real users will see your post .. it was a 3 day holiday in the US.

Already solved Jon-dip-shit-Bandqueer, you were wrong as usual, his issue and the fix had nothing to do with modeling.

jon, you wouldn't know parametric modeling if it bit you in the ass.
