Hi, The most likely reason, I think, is that the full file path to the pictures is different on the two computers.
If you have the pictures in the 'user profile area' like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', the full file path is often different from computer to computer, depending upon user name and version of Windows. If you have the pictures outside of your user profile (e.g. in C:\Legacy\Pictures) you will not have that problem as the path would be the same on both computers. What you do about it depends upon whether this is a onetime transfer, or whether you want to run Legacy on two computers (e.g. a desktop and a laptop). If you could say where your pictures are stored, and what you want to do in the future, we could give more specific next steps.

I've entered several pictures in Legacy [latest version] and when I transfer from one computer to another, using restore feature, I have to locate the photo's each time. The caption for the picture is there but the picture appears as a question mark. What should I have done?

And also tell me how you indicate the picture source? I don't want the source to appear within a report itself, but I surely would like to have a list of picture sources at the end. I can put the source in the picture description in double brackets but that doesn't give me a list. Also Legacy reserves the space & won't print anything else there. In other words nothing will print under the picture (except the caption of course) where the double-bracketed info WOULD appear if it were not double-bracketed (I hope that makes sense.)
