Firstly, I've managed to fix my problem, thanks to all the advice here.
  All my JPEG's have a jpg extension and Legacy has no missing files.
When I did the SQL run in LTools, I found a bunch of other files that I
didn't know about, but they are all fixed now as well.

To Paula in Texas, I have found a technique which combines two Legacy
features to make this an easier fix.  1) If you can rename a file using
Pic Centre, it will change all references to that file.  2) If you move
a file from one folder to another known folder without renaming it and
immediately run a test multimedia paths, it will fix all references to
that file.

So, the way I have found to move and rename a file is as follows:

.  Go into Pic Centre and rename the file, leaving it in its old folder.
  Maybe you can put it into another folder as well, but my typing isn't
that hot, so I do it this way.

.  Get out of Pic Centre and run a test all Multimedia paths.  This is
probably not necessary, but it does settle the nerves

.  Move the file to the new location using Windows.

.  If the new location is not known to Legacy, edit any person using the
file and try to access the file.  Then either let Legacy search for it
or search yourself.  this puts the new folder into legacy's list.

.  When the new folder is known to Legacy, run another test all
multimedia paths.  This will fix all references to that file.

Life would be much easier if there was a test button in the Pic Centre,
but there isn't (hint).

So, Thanks to everyone for the help

Cheers

Tony
