My "default" location for pictures as entered in Customise> Options> Locations is the Legacy/Pictures folder. The maps were stored in a subfolder of this folder. However, it turns out that's not relevant. ALL picture links to Locations were not transferred, irrespective of where the pictures were stored. I've re-entered all the links - fortunately not too many.

Rob, Since I just started putting photos in locations (also), I have some questions so we can all feel safe (eventually). Aret the maps (photos) in the same directory in the Windows Tree, with the people photos.
I am pretty sure they are, but ask in case. If not, legacy may have missed that directory. You might have to send
to corporate, (wait for them). What is a " non-default picture >folder" .
I understand the words, do you mean a folder set up outside of 'My Pictures'
and 'Legacy/pictures/' That is where I keep all mine, in the E drive.
But all mine are in a few subdirectories, all photos (docks, maps, too).
This worries me. I hope it comes out better than it looks.
Good luck, we have fingers crossed.

It's some time since I exported my entire file to a new legacy database (11
Sep 2002 - see below). I don't recall losing picture links but suspect that
at that time I didn't have any attached to locations or sources. Not much
help :-(
The thing I lost and missed were the creation date and modified date. I can
no longer tell how long I've had someone in my database - only if they were
there before I did this export, following instructions, to fix a program
error on 11 Sep 2002.
Not real data but it was useful.
Cheers, Cathy

I had a problem with a Null field in my Location list, that I fixed by
exporting the entire legacy database to a new file. I carefully checked
the settings to export so that I exported everything. Unfortunately, the
links to my maps didn't come across to the new file. As far as I can tell,
all other picture links did. The links that didn't transfer were
associated with Master Locations. Some were in a non-default picture
folder, and these didn't transfer either. I have manually re-entered the links.
Anyone else seen this? Did I do something wrong, or is this something to be fixed?
Also, my bookmarks and preferred line indications didn't transfer. What else am I likely to have lost? (My RIN's and MRIN's are unchanged. :)
Cheers, Rob
