Glen - Many thanks for your note. I recently switched to Legacy; from my previous program I had all my data and image files in various subfolders of My Documents. It never occurred to me that the link would be putting in the entire path name of the image, although if I'd bothered to stop and think about it, it makes sense. What a nightmare that would have been, having the machine-specific user account name as part of the path for My Documents in ALL of your database links! You'd never get your links straight, either to transfer to a new computer or to someone else's!
Thanks for the warning. I'm going to move my genealogy data and images straight away to their own folder right off the root drive. Fortunately, I hadn't gotten very far in terms of linking my images in my Legacy file - I'll only have a few of them to fix. Thanks again for your message. cheers, Kirsty Haining Seattle, WA :-) -----Original Message----- Glen Ballard wrote: >>The easiest way is to mirror your folder structure exactly the same on his computer.
