Hi Ian, Thanks for the advice - can you tell me how you were bitten? I have the Legacy trees (fdb) on Dropbox but they are both backed up to my normal hard drive. The only thing I am using the server for (which I have now mapped to be seen by Options in Legacy) is media for one of the files. There are so many photos there and have yet to be completely sorted (inherited from another computer) that I am loathe to put them on my own computer drives at this stage. Thanks, Marion.
