Hi Jonathan,
Thank you very much. I will try your method #1 but I'll have to wait till my
wife goes to bingo whenever, need no distractions. I've used access to find
things I didn't know how to find in Legacy but never made changes yet from
Access.
Since I want the simplest method for family members to get it on their
computer couldn't I eliminate step 2 and move files to C:\legacy\data?. Then
they would download program from Legacy and copy my zip files to data
directory, backup from my files without need to create a directory. The MM
files would be available without a search after being unzipped.

Herman, Richard, et al.,
You can fix it, either from within Legacy as Dennis points out, or
outside Legacy. If you have got hundreds of distinct paths to images in
the Options>Customize>Locations window, outside Legacy will be faster.
It is only the root of your directory tree that varies. As somebody
said, it is a bad idea to use "Document and Settings" subfolders to
store personal files, no matter what Microsoft wants, or, more
accurately, BECAUSE Microsoft wants it that way. If your operating
system malfunctions, the former will take all your work with it. If you
avoid D&S, your work will survive.
You need to be somewhat computer-savvy to do this, and you need
Microsoft Access (or does anyone know if there is an open-source db that
will minimally read access-compatible files?).
