No. The file you are now working with has no links to the media in the Family File To restore the Family File with the links you will need to restore your from the most recent backup made before you mistakenly clicked on the remove all media links button. Use Windows to find your most recent backup (Do you have Legacy add the date and time to your backup file names?) Note the date and time in the name or look at the file properties in Windows to see the date time for the file.
1. In your current file Search > Find > Detailed Search tab 2. Look for Whom: Individual; Where to Look Modified Date; How to Look: After; What to look for (Enter the date of the backup file) 3. Second Condition (And option on) Look for Whom: Individual; Where to Look Modified Time; How to Look: After; What to look for (Enter the time of the backup file (hh:mm)) 4. Create List: The search results will be everyone you modified since your last backup. 5. Close the search 6. File > Export > Export to a new Legacy File 7. Assign a file name like LatestChanges 8. Save 9. On the Export screen select the Focus Group option then click Edit Focus Group 10. Clear List to empty any existing focus group 11. Add Current Search Results 12. OK 13. Set your privacy options to include all private data and make sure options to suppress details are all off 14. Save 15. Start the Export 16. Do not assign an autosource 17. Open the file you just exported 18. Look at the records to see if they include the changes (they should) Do not worry if the people are not connected into families. Only families where data has changed will be included. 19. File > Restore File 20 Select the most recent backup file 21. Open 22. For safety at this point I would restore your backup with a new name so you do not overwrite your current file. 23. Open the restored file 24. File > Import > Legacy File 25. Select the file from step 7. 26. Add the Legacy Information to the Existing Family File 27. Proceed 28. Make sure Autobackup Family File is on 29. Continue with import 30. For safety change the starting RIN and MRIN numbers in Record Numbering to numbers well above any existing numbers in your file 30. Start the import 31. Don't assign an autosource 32. Go to Merge 33. Continue 34. Use the special Duplicates search, Use Intellishare to Automerge (since all the people you imported were changed no actual merges will happen) 35. Continue 36. Examine the merges and you can merge the "New" higher numbered RINs into their originals. The General tab of the merge screen will show you the differences. For Events, Notes etc. you can use the special tabs to copy info from the changed person to the older one to make sure any differences are reconciled.
