My vault does not allow for checking in any items with references outside the vault but I keep getting pulled into issues where someone checks out an assemblies then creates a reference outside the vault and proceeds to have issues. I am hoping there is a way to run a report on this but i am not sure if it could read information from a checked out file.
Thanks
Bob
Thanks Tim!!
Let me know if it works.
If it does, please mark my response as the correct answer when you are able to.

well, the tree structure gives Level, Parent name and Part information but what i looking for is looking any references that are point outside the vault. I think that my vault was initially created with the lock put in place so i have random older assemblies that have link reaching outside the vault and i need a way to hunt them down. the contains might do it but i am not SQL savy.
Bob, sorry for the bad info. Only files and references stored inside the vault are maintained. I've tested both these in my SQL and they won't work for you. I created a simple assembly with one part in the vault and the other on my desktop but these queries don't return the part on the desktop at all. You will need the API or the Document Manager API to find these. I use a program I wrote called GetReferences but it doesn't show this one either. I'm not sure what to recommend but I do see the need here.

Check out this thread. I should have read that first. It appears there isn't a great way to handle your issue.
Thanks again Tim,
I want sure that there was a viable way to pull up that kind of data. I appreciate the time you took to look into it and will use what you shared to try and understand what can and cant be done.

I have software that does this. It reads the references from the vault and the file itself and reports on the differences. Reach out to me if you're interested in a demo.
