Thank you Cathy.
I put all of my media files from Dropbox into one default media folder and now have 51 missing photos/documents, which I will work on. I appreciate the support.

When you say - yes that's the image that was missing - there's two buttons you can click. One is just for that particular image, the second is for that image and any others missing in that folder. Re changing computers. If the path to the media actually reads [Default Media Folder]\<subfolder names if any> when you look at View - Master Lists - Media Folders then all you need to do to re-attach the media is change Options-Customise 6.2 to the new location. [Default Media Folder]\ is the code introduced in Legacy 8 for the path in Option 6.2 If that isn't what is showing (you can also see this at 6.2 under the "View Current List of Media Folders" button) then you can use Search - Search and Replace on Media folders to replace the path you enter at 6.2 with [Default Media Folder]\ Once that is done, your problems will be over if you only add media to that one folder or sub-folders of it.
