Leon, thanks for your reply. I have specified the C: drive but the .tmp file or .docx file is in a Family Tree Maker Media folder on the C:drive. It takes about 20 mins for the for the relinker to search my C:drive. I have many media files, not Legacy ones. I did an add media to the persons event or source detail and managed to reduce the number of missing media from 18 to 14, but I thought maybe there was some quicker way to tell the re-linker where to look. Apparently not. Madeleine
