Wolfgang [and Hans &c.], I'm attaching a minimal(ish) example of a project structure with a call to \pagereference. One can see from the output of master000.tex that the cross references to an external file all work, *apart* from the call to \pagereference. (This is the same issue that I am having with my two volume proceedings.) I'd be grateful for suggestions.

I've adjusted it to include a call to \pagereference and it works. I'm currently trying to test my project to see why my own calls to \pagereference do not result in any output, despite the fact that all the calls to the reference ids in chapters work as expected. I'm imagining at this point that it has something to do with using two master files --one for each volume-- with multiple includes (\components) for each chapter &c. -- the \pagereference code appears in a number of the components. I'll try to set up a simple example replicating the file structure I'm using and then send it through.

Without a minimal example there is no way to tell what's missing in your document.
