Hi Adrian, I mapped the drive from the NAS server from "my computer" - the drive letter being Z. If it was to do with that then I would not have been able to see the rest of the photographs attached to the tree. There are 615 photos in the tree and there were only about 34 that Legacy couldn't find - now we are down to 18- which are probably in the same situation as a folder within a folder within ad infinitum!! I haven't had the courage to search for the last 18 yet! Thanks for your input, Marion
